Summary

Amends the Small Business Act to authorize a Small Business Development Center in an eligible state to apply for an additional Small Business Administration grant to be used solely to provide services to assist with outreach, development, and enhancement on Indian lands of small business startups and expansions owned by Indian tribe members, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians. Defines an eligible state as one in which at least one percent of its population is comprised of such tribe members and Natives. Limits each grant to $300,000 in a fiscal year.

Requires a Small Business Development Center receiving such a grant to request the advice of tribal organizations on how best to provide assistance and where to locate satellite centers to provide it.
