Overview

This bill, the Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025, requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to relocate any of its regional, district, or local offices located in states or political subdivisions designated as ‘sanctuary jurisdictions.’ A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as a location that restricts information sharing with the federal government regarding citizenship or immigration status or limits compliance with Department of Homeland Security requests. The SBA must relocate these offices to a location outside of a sanctuary jurisdiction within 60 days of a public determination by the Administrator.

Key provisions

The SBA Administrator must relocate offices in sanctuary jurisdictions.
Relocation must occur to a location not in a sanctuary jurisdiction.
The Administrator must publicly announce the determination of a sanctuary jurisdiction before initiating relocation.
The relocation deadline is 60 days after the public determination.
During relocation, the office in the sanctuary jurisdiction ceases operations.
Employees of the relocated office are reassigned to other SBA offices outside sanctuary jurisdictions.
The SBA may not establish new offices in sanctuary jurisdictions.
A state is not considered a sanctuary jurisdiction if it has a policy not to share information regarding victims or witnesses of crimes.
