This report discusses the arguments presented for having a Microloan program, describes the program's operating standards and requirements for lenders and borrowers, and examines the arguments presented by the program's critics and by its advocates. It concludes with an examination of H.R. 3854, the Small Business Financing and Investment Act of 2009, which was passed by the House on October 29, 2009, and is awaiting action in the Senate; S. 2869, the Small Business Job Creation and Access to Capital Act of 2009, which was ordered to be reported by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship on December 10, 2009, and is awaiting further action in the Senate; and the Senate-passed version of H.R. 5297, the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which was passed by the Senate on September 16, 2010.
