Voters should care about this bill because it directly addresses the efficiency and security of government services relied upon by small businesses, which are a cornerstone of the economy. The Small Business Administration provides crucial support, loans, and resources to entrepreneurs, and if its information technology systems are outdated, insecure, or poorly managed, it can hinder its ability to serve these businesses effectively.
If this bill becomes law, it will force the SBA to adopt best practices for managing its technology projects, which could lead to more secure data, fewer system outages, and more effective use of taxpayer dollars. Without this bill, the SBA might continue to face the same "urgent risks" identified by the GAO report, potentially leading to wasted resources, data breaches, or disruptions in services for small businesses, costing both time and money for those who depend on the agency.
