The Senate Committee on Appropriations has passed several provisions that support employee ownership and ESOPs in the Fiscal 2025 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. All three provisions were included in the Small Business Administration (SBA) portion of the Appropriations Committee report accompanying the bill text, which provides instruction and direction from Congress to Federal agencies about their budget, goals, and initiatives. The full Committee approved the funding package in a unanimous 27-0 vote.

You can never have too many friends in Congress. Politics is inherently changeable, and while it may seem that members of Congress have a job for life, in every session many are replaced—sometimes unexpectedly.
Some announce their retirement while others are defeated in primaries or elections. Some resign for health concerns and some leave for other factors entirely. Whatever the reason, a significant number of elected officials don’t return the following session.
