7/23/1985--Introduced.
Amends the Small Business Act to prohibit the Small Business Administration (SBA) from denying financial assistance to a small business solely because its primary operation is: (1) book, newspaper, magazine, greeting card, or history calendar publication or distribution; (2) radio or television broadcasting; (3) film, record, or video tape production or distribution; (4) instruction or tutoring in academic subjects; or (5) a similar operation. Permits such denial if the SBA determines after a hearing that assistance will be adverse to a legitimate public interest or used primarily to promote or criticize political or religious ideas.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
