WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenVoters should care about this bill because it addresses the economic stability of small businesses, which are often the backbone of local economies. If this bill becomes law, it would provide a safety net for businesses that experience unexpected financial hardship due to government actions, offering a direct way for them to recover lost income. This could prevent business closures, protect jobs, and ensure that local communities don't suffer severe economic downturns after federal immigration enforcement events.
Without this bill, small businesses facing such disruptions would have no dedicated federal mechanism for financial relief, potentially leaving them vulnerable to severe losses or even bankruptcy. The bill aims to provide a specific form of disaster relief, acknowledging that federal enforcement actions can have unintended economic consequences for innocent third-party businesses. Its passage would mean a new government program specifically designed to mitigate these impacts, whereas its failure would mean these businesses would continue to bear the full financial burden themselves.
KEY PROVISIONS
4AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Establishes the Small Business ICE Disruption Fund with an appropriation of $200 million for fiscal year 2026.
This creates a dedicated source of funding for businesses affected by immigration enforcement actions.
PROVISION 02
Defines "eligible entity" as a small business with at least a 25% revenue loss due to disruptions from a federal immigration enforcement action within the last year, excluding large or publicly traded companies.
This provision clarifies exactly which businesses can receive grants and targets the aid to smaller, more vulnerable enterprises.
PROVISION 03
Limits grant amounts to the actual revenue loss, with a maximum of $1 million per business (including affiliates) and $500,000 per physical location.
These limits ensure that funds are distributed equitably and prevent any single large claim from depleting the fund too quickly.
PROVISION 04
Requires applicants to certify their losses resulted from immigration enforcement and that they have not received other compensation, and mandates fraud checks by the Administrator.
These measures are designed to prevent misuse of funds and ensure accountability in the grant program.
