Simplify the process for small lenders to provide loans to small businesses.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Small LENDER Act?
As of June 17, 2026, H.R. 941 has been reported by the House Committee on Financial Services and is waiting for a vote by the full House of Representatives. The House leadership must now decide to schedule the bill for a floor vote, which is the main constraint because floor time is limited. While reaching this stage is a significant milestone that most bills do not achieve, many proposals still fail to receive a final vote.
