TABLE OF CONTENTS:

Microloan Program Technical Corrections Act of 1999 - Amends provisions of the Small Business Act relating to the Microloan Program (a program making loans to small businesses for startup or materials and equipment costs) to: (1) delete provisions restricting the amount of loan funds made available to any single State and require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to ensure that at least $800,000 of new loan funds are available to each State in any fiscal year; (2) revise the loan loss reserve fund levels required of loan intermediaries; (3) direct the SBA Administrator, after the first five years of an intermediary's participation in the Program, to review the annual loss rate of such intermediary; and (4) authorize the Administrator, under certain circumstances, to reduce the annual loan loss reserve requirement to reflect the average annual loan loss rate of an intermediary, except that no loan loss reserve shall be reduced to less than ten percent of the outstanding balance of the notes receivable owed to the intermediary.
