Subtitle B--Modernizing SBA's Loan Programs Act of 2023

SEC. 11111. SHORT TITLE.

This subtitle may be cited as the ``Modernizing SBA's
Business Loan Programs Act of 2023''.

SEC. 11112. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) in 1982, the Administration placed a moratorium on
licensing new small business lending companies because the
Administration lacked the resources to effectively service
and supervise additional small business lending companies;
(2) according to the Office of the Inspector General of the
Administration, the reduction in staff in the Office of
Credit Risk Management of the Administration from 42 full-
time employees to 29 full-time employees could affect the
fiscal year 2023 goals of the Administration for oversight
reviews;
(3) the Administration has finalized a rulemaking to lift
the moratorium on the licensing new small business lending
companies and establish a new Community Advantage small
business lending company license, and there is no cap on the
number of small business lending companies licenses that
could be issued by the Administration;
(4) the increased costs and fees for an existing Community
Advantage lender in the Community Advantage Pilot Program of
the Administration to obtain and maintain a Community
Advantage small business lending company license could be
cost prohibitive for a majority of current Community
Advantage lenders to transition to a Community Advantage
small business lending company;
(5) on May 1, 2023, the Administration announced that the
Community Advantage Pilot Program would sunset on September
30, 2023, and the authority of a Community Advantage lender
to make loans under section 7(a) of the Small Business Act
(15 U.S.C. 636(a)) under the pilot program will terminate;
(6) the Administration does not have adequate resources to
issue either more than 3 new small business lending company
licenses or new Community Advantage small business lending
company licenses, as the Office of Credit Risk Management
does not have the capacity to assume additional oversight
responsibilities; and

[[Page S3672]]

(7) in order to increase small dollar lending in
underserved areas, the Community Advantage Pilot Program
should be made permanent, giving lenders certainty to
continue to make loans under section 7(a) of the Small
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)).

SEC. 11113. LENDING CRITERIA.

(a) 7(a) Loans.--Section 7(a)(1) of the Small Business Act
(15 U.S.C. 636(a)(1)) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(D) Underwriting requirements.--
``(i) In general.--With respect to a loan guaranteed under
this subsection--

(a) Affiliation Principles.--
(1) Business loans.--Section 7(a)(1) of the Small Business
Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(1)), as amended by this subtitle, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``(E) Affiliation principles.--Affiliation under any of the
circumstances described below is sufficient to establish
affiliation for applicants for a loan guaranteed under this
subsection:
``(i) Affiliation based on ownership.--

``(I) In general.--For determining affiliation based on
equity ownership, a concern is an affiliate of an individual,
concern, or entity that owns or has the power to control more
than 50 percent of the voting equity of the concern.
``(II) Other officers.--If no individual, concern, or
entity is found to control a concern under subclause (I), the
Administrator shall deem the board of directors, president,
or chief executive officer (or other officers, managing
members, or partners who control the management of the
concern) to be in control of the concern.
``(III) Minority shareholder.--The Administrator shall deem
a minority shareholder of a concern to be in control of the
concern if that individual or entity has the ability, under
the charter, by-laws, or shareholder agreement of the
concern, to prevent a quorum or otherwise block action by the
board of directors or shareholders of the concern.

``(ii) Affiliation arising under stock options, convertible
securities, and agreements to merge.--

``(I) In general.--In determining the size of a concern,
the Administrator shall--

``(aa) consider stock options, convertible securities, and
agreements to merge (including agreements in principle) to
have a present effect on the power to control a concern; and
``(bb) treat options, convertible securities, and
agreements described in item (aa) as though the rights
granted have been exercised.

``(II) Agreements to open or continue negotiations.--An
agreement to open or continue negotiations towards the
possibility of a merger or a sale of stock at some later date
is not considered an `agreement in principle' and is not
given present effect.
``(III) Conditions precedent.--Stock options, convertible
securities, and agreements that are subject to conditions
precedent that are incapable of fulfillment, speculative,
conjectural, or unenforceable under State or Federal law, or
where the probability of the transaction (or exercise of the
rights) occurring is shown to be extremely remote, are not
given present effect.
``(IV) Termination of control.--

``(aa) In general.--An individual, concern, or other entity
that controls 1 or more other concerns cannot use stock
options, convertible securities, or agreements to appear to
terminate such control before actually doing so.
``(bb) Divesting.--The Administrator shall not give present
effect to the ability of an individual, concern, or other
entity to divest all or part of their ownership interest in a
concern in order to avoid a finding of affiliation.
``(iii) Affiliation based on management.--Affiliation
arises where--

``(I) the chief executive officer or president of the
applicant concern (or other officers, managing members, or
partners who control the management of the concern) also
controls the management of 1 or more other concerns;
``(II) a single individual, concern, or entity that
controls the board of directors or management of 1 concern
also controls the board of directors or management of 1 of
more other concerns; or
``(III) a single individual, concern, or entity controls
the management of the applicant concern through a management
agreement.

``(iv) Affiliation based on identity of interest.--

``(I) Definition.--In this clause, the term `close
relative' means--

``(aa) a spouse, parent, child, or sibling; and
``(bb) the spouse of any individual described in item (aa).

``(II) Close relatives.--Affiliation arises when there is
an identity of interest between close relatives with
identical or substantially identical business or economic
interests, such as where the close relatives operate concerns
in the same or similar industry in the same geographic area.
``(III) Aggregated interests.--If the Administrator
determines that interests described in subclause (II) should
be aggregated, an individual or firm may rebut that
determination with evidence showing that the interests deemed
to be affiliated are in fact separate.

``(v) Affiliation based on franchise and license
agreements.--

``(I) In general.--The restraints imposed on a franchisee
or licensee by its franchise or license agreement generally
shall not be considered in determining whether the franchisor
or licensor is affiliated with an applicant franchisee or
licensee, if the applicant franchisee or licensee has the
right to profit from its efforts and bears the risk of loss
commensurate with ownership.
``(II) Nature of agreement.--For purposes of subclause (I),
the Administrator shall only consider the franchise or
license agreements of the applicant concern.

``(vi) Determining the concern's size.--In determining the
size of a concern, the Administrator counts the receipts,
employees, or the alternate size standard (if applicable) of
the concern whose size is at issue and all of the domestic
and foreign affiliates of the concern, regardless of whether
the affiliates are organized for profit.
``(vii) Exceptions to affiliation.--The exceptions to
affiliation described in section 121.103(b) of title 13, Code
of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulation, shall
apply.''.

percent of an applicant, the business that owns the applicant
is affiliated with the applicant.

business entity owner that owns more than 50 percent of an
applicant also owns more than 50 percent of another business
that operates in the same 3-digit North American Industry
Classification System subsector as the applicant, then the
business entity owner, the other business, and the applicant
are all affiliated.

``(iii) Ownership by individuals.--When an individual owns
more than 50 percent of the applicant and the individual also
owns more than 50 percent of another business entity that
operates in the same 3-digit North American Industry
Classification System subsector as the applicant, the
applicant and the individual owner's other business entity
are affiliated.
``(iv) Less than 50 percent.--When an applicant does not
have an owner that owns more than 50 percent of the
applicant, if an owner of 20 percent or more of the applicant
also owns more than 50 percent of another business entity
that operates in the same 3-digit North American Industry
Classification System subsector as the applicant, the
applicant and the owner's other business entity are
affiliated.
``(v) Spouse and minor children.--Ownership interests of
spouses and minor children shall be combined when determining
amount of ownership interest.
``(vi) Percentage of ownership.--When determining the
percentage of ownership that an individual owns in a

granted have been exercised.

securities, and agreements that are subject to conditions
precedent that are incapable of fulfillment, speculative,
conjectural, or unenforceable under State or Federal law, or
where the probability of the transaction (or exercise of the

given present effect.
``(iv) Ability to divest.--The Administrator shall not give
present effect to individuals', concerns', or other entities'
ability to divest all or part of their ownership interest to
avoid a finding of affiliation.
``(C) Determining the concern's size.--In determining the
size of a concern, the Administrator counts the receipts,
employees, or the alternate size standard (if applicable) of

and foreign affiliates of the concern, regardless of whether
