H.R. 5764 · Commerce
AI for Main Street Act
Introduced Oct 17, 2025 · Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
What does this mean?

Small Business Development Centers—local offices, often connected to universities, that give free advice and training to small business owners—would be required to start helping those owners understand and use artificial intelligence tools. That means if you run a small business, you could get guidance from these centers on things like how AI could be useful for your operations and how to use it to prepare for unexpected disruptions, like supply problems or emergencies. The bill doesn't create new AI tools itself; it just directs these existing advice centers to add AI guidance to the services they already offer.
