What’s happening with Improving SBA Engagement on Employee Ownership Act?
The Improving SBA Engagement on Employee Ownership Act, known as H.R. 5778, was placed on the Union Calendar on December 16, 2025. The House of Representatives must now schedule a floor vote to move the bill forward, but limited time for debate remains the primary constraint. While reaching the Union Calendar is a significant milestone that most bills do not achieve, the lack of action since December 16, 2025, shows that leadership has not yet prioritized this proposal.
