H.R. 1621: Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Reporting Act of 2025

The proposed bill, known as the **Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Reporting Act of 2025**, aims to improve the understanding and support available for entrepreneurs with disabilities. Here’s a breakdown of what the bill entails:

Report on Challenges Faced by Entrepreneurs with Disabilities

Within 180 days of its enactment, the Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator is tasked with issuing a report to Congress that addresses several key areas:

• Assessment of Challenges: The report will evaluate the specific challenges encountered by entrepreneurs with disabilities when starting and running a business.
• Resources and Support: It will describe the resources and support currently provided by the SBA to help these entrepreneurs.
• Outreach Efforts: The document will outline the outreach initiatives aimed at entrepreneurs with disabilities, detailing efforts made by the SBA and its local and regional offices, as well as through small business development centers and women’s business centers.
• Collaborative Efforts: The report will describe joint efforts between the SBA and other Federal agencies focused on enhancing the economic success of entrepreneurs with disabilities.
• Identifying Deficiencies: It will highlight any shortcomings in the resources and support identified in the report.
• Access to Resources: The bill includes an examination of how entrepreneurs with disabilities are using and able to access SBA resources.
• Legislative Recommendations: Finally, the SBA will provide recommendations for legislative actions needed to address the challenges and needs identified in the report.

Budget and Appropriation Compliance

The bill specifies that it does not authorize any new funds to be appropriated for its implementation, meaning the activities described will need to be carried out within existing budget constraints.

Implications

The primary goal of this legislation is to gather informed insights on the obstacles faced by entrepreneurs with disabilities and examine how existing policies and resources can be improved to foster a more inclusive entrepreneurial environment.
