Occurrences

My legislation, the SBA Artificial Intelligence Utilization Act of 2026, requires the SBA to report its use of AI and machine learning within their operations, while also assessing the advantages and risks.

Finstad says his legislation would require the SBA to submit annual AI and machine learning reports to Congress and assess benefits and risks.

Evidence

Finstad said H.R. 8881 would require the SBA Administrator to submit an annual report to Congress on the agency's use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and that the House Small Business Committee passed it.

This is a concrete same-term step toward the pledge: Finstad publicly claimed committee passage of H.R. 8881, a bill matching the promise by requiring SBA annual reporting to Congress on AI and machine learning use. As of the lookback date, this shows active progress but not final enactment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Finstad materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8881 and moving it through the House Small Business Committee, where it passed in May 2026. That is a concrete same-term legislative step toward requiring the SBA to file annual AI and machine-learning reports to Congress. But the available record does not show final enactment into law, so the reporting requirement was not fully delivered.
