Theological note: The measure concerns the ordinary stewardship of credit and the support of small enterprise, which Scripture commends through honest labor, fair dealing, and prudent provision. Its relevance is chiefly prudential: whether easing a lending requirement serves small businesses without shifting undue risk onto taxpayers or lenders.
