Bill 119 s 202, also known as the Small Business Commodity Futures Program Act, is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to create a program within the Small Business Administration (SBA) that would enable small businesses to purchase certain commodities futures.
The bill seeks to provide small business concerns with the opportunity to participate in the commodities market, which is typically dominated by larger corporations and financial institutions. By allowing small businesses to purchase commodities futures, the legislation aims to help these businesses manage their risk and potentially increase their profitability.
In addition to establishing the program, the bill also includes provisions for the SBA to provide guidance and support to small businesses participating in the program. This would include assistance with understanding the commodities market, managing risk, and making informed decisions about purchasing futures contracts.
Overall, the Small Business Commodity Futures Program Act is designed to level the playing field for small businesses in the commodities market and provide them with the tools and resources needed to compete with larger entities.
