Law

Congress would require the Government Accountability Office to study how fast small business loan money gets paid out.
The study would look at 2021–2024 loan processing times, approval rates, and average loan amounts in regions that include Appalachia.
It would compare Appalachian parts of those regions with the non-Appalachian parts to see if there are gaps in access or delays.
Within 1 year of the law taking effect, the agency would brief Congress on progress; within 2 years it would deliver a public report.
The report must recommend ways to make loans easier to access, cut wait times, and give applicants clearer status updates during processing.
