Stop enforcing religious eligibility exclusions and finalize rule removing them
Mandate says immediately notify Congress under 28 U.S.C. § 530D that unconstitutional religious exclusions will not be enforced, take down Form 1971, and finalize Trump’s proposed rule (or a successor) removing religious exclusions from SBA loan programs.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 25 (SBA) — Eligibility of Religious Entities: next Administration should immediately notify Congress under 28 U.S.C. § 530D it will not enforce unconstitutional regulations; take down SBA Form 1971; finalize Trump Administration proposed rule or publish updated proposed rule removing unconstitutional religious exclusions.
Undo plan
1) Ensure nondiscriminatory access for religious applicants consistent with First Amendment and Establishment Clause limits.
2) Finalize clear rules so loan officers are not improvising religious tests via worksheets.
3) Train lenders on permissible vs impermissible inquiries.
4) Codify equal treatment without funding specifically religious worship activities if statute draws that line.
5) Verify: denial rates by entity type and complaint tracking.
