Key Points

  • This bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to move its local and regional offices out of 'sanctuary jurisdictions.' These are cities or counties that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities or refuse to share immigration status information.
  • Once the SBA identifies an office in a sanctuary area, it has 120 days to move it to a new location that complies with federal immigration requests. If the move is not finished on time, the office must stop all operations immediately.
  • Small business owners in these cities may have to travel further or use online services to get help with federal loans and business resources. Employees at these offices would be moved to different locations, preferably within the same state.
  • The head of any office that fails to move on time could be fired if they do not provide a valid reason for the delay. Additionally, the SBA would be banned from opening any new offices in sanctuary areas in the future.
