Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025

Summary

Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act This bill requires the relocation of a regional, district, or local office of the Small Business Administration (SBA) if the SBA makes a public determination that the office is located in a sanctuary jurisdiction. The SBA must relocate that office, within 60 days of such determination, to a location that is not a sanctuary jurisdiction.
