Senator Marshall’s Investing in All of America Act Signed Into Law

Washington - Today, President Trump signed U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas)'s Investing in All America Act into law. The bipartisan legislation strengthens the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program by exempting investments in rural and low-income communities - as well as manufacturing and critical technology sectors - from the program's leverage cap, unlocking more private capital for the areas that need it most.

"America grows from the middle out - not the coasts in," said Senator Marshall. "Today, President Trump signed into law a bipartisan bill that makes sure the next wave of American growth reaches small businesses in rural and low-income communities, as well as the small manufacturers and innovators keeping this country competitive. This is a win for Kansas and a win for every corner of America that Washington has too long overlooked."

The SBIC program has supported over 3 million jobs over the last two decades, including $505.4 million invested in Kansas and support for 98 Kansas small businesses. Despite that track record, less than 20% of SBIC investments currently reach low- to middle-income communities. The Investing in All of America Act closes that gap - directing capital where it's needed, not just where it's easy.
