This bill removes a rule in the Small Business Act that pushed certain federal small business construction contractors to award subcontracts to companies located in the same county or state where the work is done. It does this by repealing a specific part of the law (section 8(a), paragraph 11), ending that local-subcontracting requirement .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Small businesses in the SBA 8(a) program, their construction subcontractors, and federal projects that use 8(a) construction contracts .
• What changes: Contractors would no longer be required to pick subcontractors from the county or state of the job; they could choose subcontractors from anywhere .
• When: The text repeals the requirement; no separate start date is listed in the bill text .
