Law

The bill tells the Small Business Administration to be more active in meetings about worker-owned businesses, like co-ops and employee stock plans.
SBA leaders or their staff would have to show up at federal meetings about employee ownership when invited, so workers and owners get better guidance.
It expands outreach so that not only small business funds, but also their investors and partners, learn how to support employee-owned companies.
The SBA must use its existing employee ownership promotion program to give more help and information within about 6 months.
For regular workers, this could make it easier to buy their company, keep jobs local, and share in profits if their boss wants to sell or retire.
