Business over Ballots Act

Summary

Prohibits the Small Business Administration (SBA) and entities receiving SBA assistance from facilitating voter registration unless federal law expressly allows it, and says no Presidential Executive Order may force the SBA to do so. It also requires SBA contracts and assistance agreements to bar recipients from using SBA-provided support to help people register to vote. The bill excludes recipients of SBA loans or loan guarantees made under section 7 of the Small Business Act from the groups it bars from facilitating registration.

• Defines covered entities to include entities and state/local governments receiving SBA assistance by agreement, but excludes section 7 loan or loan guarantee recipients.
• Does not create new funding or appropriations and does not specify an implementation timeline in the provided text.
• Expresses a congressional view that voter-registration facilitation is beyond the SBA's mission and authority and that Presidential orders cannot conflict with this prohibition.
