House Passes AI Support For Small Businesses

On January 20, 2026, the U.S. House passed two bipartisan bills—H.R. 5764 (AI for Main Street Act) and H.R. 5784 (AI-WISE Act)—to deliver AI training and guidance to small businesses through SBA-funded Small Business Development Centers. Both measures passed with overwhelming support and now await Senate action; the bills require outreach, online learning modules, and cybersecurity guidance using existing SBA funds.
