Congress 116th
Date Requested April 1, 2019
Requested By the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
Date Sent April 23, 2019
Description:
S. 771 would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to establish a certification program for cyber counseling through which employees of small business development centers (SBDCs) would provide assistance to small businesses for cyber security planning. Under the bill the SBA could spend up to $350,000 per year to reimburse SBDCs for certification costs. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriations. Based on that authorization level and using information from the SBA, CBO estimates that implementing S. 771 would cost $2 million over the 2020-2024 time period.
