In House committee, no vote yet.
This bill directs the Small Business Administration (SBA) to work with the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) to develop a curriculum. SCORE volunteers would then teach entrepreneurship to students at community learning centers. The bill was introduced by a bipartisan pair of Representatives, Sharice Davids of Kansas and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and is currently awaiting review in two House committees.
Introduced Apr 21, 2026
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on April 21, 2026. It has been referred to the House Small Business Committee and the House Education and Workforce Committee for review. For the bill to become law, it must pass both the House and Senate and then be signed by the President.
If this bill passes, the Small Business Administration would create a curriculum for entrepreneurship, specifically designed for young people. Retired business executives, through the SCORE program, would be allowed to teach these new lessons at community learning centers in your area. This means students at participating centers would have new opportunities to learn practical business skills directly from experienced mentors, fostering local economic growth and job creation.
