Summary of Bill HR 2066

Bill 119 HR 2066, also known as the Small Business Investment Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The main goal of this bill is to exclude certain amounts invested in smaller enterprises located in rural or low-income areas, as well as small businesses in critical technology areas, from the limit on leverage.

The bill seeks to provide more opportunities for small businesses in underserved areas to access the capital they need to grow and thrive. By exempting investments in these specific types of businesses from leverage limits, the hope is that more investors will be incentivized to support these enterprises, ultimately leading to economic development in these communities.

In addition to these changes, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to small business investment. Overall, the Small Business Investment Act Amendment aims to promote economic growth and job creation in rural and low-income areas, as well as in critical technology sectors.
