Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Investing in All of America Act of 2023This bill modifies the limit on the amount of financing available to a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) from the Small Business Administration (SBA).Specifically, the bill includes amounts the SBIC invests in small businesses in rural areas or areas of critical technology as amounts that may be excluded (up to an aggregate of 50% of the private capital of the SBIC) from the calculation of the SBIC's financing limit. The bill also indexes the limit to inflation.The SBA must report annually on the economic activity and jobs directly and indirectly resulting from the exclusion.

Excludes these types of investments from the SBIC's financing limit, up to 50% of the SBIC's private capital
Indexes the financing limit to inflation to keep up with rising costs over time

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would benefit small businesses in rural areas and high-tech industries by making it easier for them to access the capital they need to grow and create jobs. It could particularly help entrepreneurs and small business owners in economically disadvantaged communities. However, the impact would depend on whether SBICs actually choose to invest more in these types of businesses as a result of the new rules.
