Expanding the Surety Bond Program Act of 2025 is a House bill awaiting final action. The latest recorded action: Held at the desk.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects small businesses that need bonds to bid on larger contracts. It also affects surety companies that issue those bonds and the SBA staff who run the program. Congress would get more detailed information about the program’s risks, claims, and finances.

Why this matters: Small businesses can lose out on bigger jobs when they cannot get the bond a contract requires. This bill could help some firms compete for larger work by raising the SBA-backed bond limit. It also tries to protect the program’s fund by lowering the limit for a while if the SBA needs extra money. The new reports could help Congress see whether the program is growing safely and working well.

Key provisions in S. 2232

The SBA could back bonds for much larger contracts. The main limit would rise from $6.5 million to $18 million.
The $18 million limit would not always stay in place. If the SBA asks Congress for extra money for the program’s revolving fund, the limit would drop by 33% for a limited time.
The lower limit would last until the bill’s timing rules are met. It ends either 12 months after the request, or up to 150 days after money is provided or found unnecessary and the SBA says the fund is deficit-neutral.
Other parts of the law would be updated to match the new cap. They would also point to the lower temporary cap when that cap is in effect.
The SBA could use the surety bond revolving fund for administration. That spending could not exceed 2% of the fund’s balance at the start of each fiscal year.
