Emergency Relief for Small Business Is On the Line – Act Before It’s Too Late
Your Voice Matters: Tell the Governor to Sign AB 265 Today
Small businesses are the backbone of California’s economy. When natural disasters, public emergencies, and unforeseen crises strike, small businesses are often the first to feel the impact—and the last to recover.
AB 265 (Caloza), co-authored by Senator Cortese and sponsored by Small Business Majority, strengthens California’s ability to support small businesses when emergencies occur, they have access to timely resources, technical assistance, and recovery pathways: and is on the way to the Governor for signature.
Every wildfire, flood, earthquake, or public emergency threatens not only storefronts and supply chains but also the livelihoods of thousands of families and workers. By passing AB 265, California can better safeguard the small business ecosystem that fuels our economy and provides stability to our communities.
The California SBDC needs your voice to tell the Governor to continue to support small business and sign AB 265 into law.
Supporting small businesses in times of crisis is not just about economic recovery—it is about resilience, jobs, and community strength.
