Summary

The introduced text of H.R. 5788 in the 119th Congress, the 504 Program Risk Oversight Act, introduced in the House of Representatives on October 17, 2025 by Mr. Tran for himself and Mr. Patronis and referred to the Committee on Small Business. The bill would amend title V of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 695 et seq.) by adding a new section 511 requiring the Administrator to conduct an annual risk analysis of all loans guaranteed under that title. It requires an annual report to Congress covering program risk by industry concentration, loan size bands up to $5,500,000, loan age, borrower type, defaults and purchases, enforcement actions and civil monetary penalties. The report is to be posted publicly not later than 7 days after submission.
