H.R. 1023
Small Business Investment Company Capital Act of 2015
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Small Business on June 10, 2015
H.R. 1023 would raise the maximum amount of debt, from $225 million to $350 million,
that the Small Business Administration (SBA) can guarantee for a group of companies
participating in the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program that are operated
together (defined as a family of funds).
Under current law, businesses participating in the SBIC program are required to pay
various fees that are sufficient to offset the program's estimated subsidy cost, that is, the
estimated long-term cost to the government of a loan guarantee, calculated on a
net-present-value basis. Based on information from the SBA, CBO expects that increasing
the maximum loan guarantee level for a family of funds would not affect the estimated net
subsidy cost, nor would the changes increase the SBA's cost to administer the program,
which is recorded in the budget on a cash basis. Therefore, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 1023 would not affect discretionary spending. Enacting H.R. 1023 also
would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not
apply.
H.R. 1023 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
On May 28, 2015, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 552, the Small Business
Investment Capital Company Act of 2015, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on
Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The two bills are identical and the CBO cost
estimate is the same.
The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Susan Willie and Ben Christopher. The
estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
