Evidence

"U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) introduced a package of legislation that would support small businesses across the United States and help them access funding from the Small Business Administration (SBA)." The release says she is introducing the Microbusiness Support Act, which would allow the SBA to issue loans of up to $100,000 to microbusinesses, along with a wildfire-smoke disaster bill.

She introduced SBA-related small-business legislation, including a microbusiness lending bill, but there is no sign in the lookback window of enactment or committee progress beyond introduction.

The promise was framed as supporting legislation to help small businesses access SBA funding, not necessarily securing enactment. During her current Senate term, Cortez Masto introduced a package of SBA-related small-business bills, including the Microbusiness Support Act to expand SBA loan access for microbusinesses. That is direct legislative support and materially satisfies the promised action, even though the evidence does not show final passage.
