Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025

• •The Administrator of the SBA must relocate all regional, district, or local offices currently located in a 'sanctuary jurisdiction'.
• •Relocation must occur within 60 days of the Administrator making a public determination that an office is in a sanctuary jurisdiction.
• •New offices are prohibited from being established in sanctuary jurisdictions.
• •If an office is not relocated within 60 days, it must cease operations until it is moved to a non-sanctuary location.
• •Employees of offices that cease operations due to non-compliance must be reassigned to other non-sanctuary offices, preferably within the same state.
• •The head of an office that fails to relocate within 60 days must submit a written explanation within 5 days of the deadline.
• •The Administrator must remove the head of an office if they fail to provide an explanation or if the explanation is deemed insufficient.
• •A 'sanctuary jurisdiction' is defined as any state or local government that restricts sharing immigration status information or complying with federal immigration detainer requests.
• •An exception to the sanctuary definition exists for jurisdictions that only limit cooperation regarding individuals who are victims or witnesses to crimes.
• •The bill excludes the SBA headquarters from the relocation requirement.

If passed, this bill would force the relocation of SBA offices out of jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, potentially disrupting local small business support services and requiring staff reassignments.
