Adds a new subparagraph (C) at the end of section 103(9) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The added words rule out funds obtained directly or indirectly from any Federal, State or local government, or from any government agency or instrumentality, except funds described in subclauses (I) through (III) of subparagraph (B)(iii), for the purpose of approval by the Administrator of any request for leverage. What term the subparagraph belongs to is set by the amended statute, which is not indexed here.

That sentence, in plain words

Money from the government does not count. That covers federal, state and city money. It covers any government body. A few named kinds of money still count.

What this is about

This rule is used when the head of the agency looks at a request to borrow. The list of kinds that still count sits in the older law. That law is not on this site.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
