Small business supply chain support

 

The purpose of this bill is to support small businesses by providing resources and assistance to help them manage and

recover from supply chain disruptions

 

Small businesses often struggle during supply chain problems because they lack the resources and connections larger

companies have. This bill is needed to help level the playing field and ensure small businesses can survive and thrive

during unexpected disruptions.

 

Small Business: A business with fewer than 50 employees or annual revenue below a specified threshold set by local

regulations.

Supply Chain Disruption: Any incident that causes delays, shortages, or interruptions in the delivery of goods or

materials essential for business operations.

Emergency Assistance: Immediate support and resources provided during urgent situations to help businesses continue

functioning.

 

Funds will be all collected from local or state government budgets to create and maintain training programs, advisory

services, and emergency response teams dedicated to helping small businesses with supply chain issues.

 

Companies or organizations that intentionally disrupt supply chains unfairly may face penalties, with designated

government agencies responsible for enforcing these rules to ensure fair practices and compliance.

 

This bill will take effect 90 days after its passage to allow time for the setup of programs and all location of

resources.
