Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
This bill aims to help small businesses owned by service‑disabled veterans win more federal contracts. If a federal agency misses the government’s goal for awarding contracts to these businesses, its staff must get training on how to increase awards to them. The Small Business Administration (SBA), working with its veterans office, would run the training, share best practices within 6 months, and report each year on which agencies missed the goal and how many trainings were provided, including what the trainings covered .
Key points:
| Who is affected | What changes | When |
|---|---|---|
| Federal agencies that miss the contract goal | Required staff training on increasing awards to service‑disabled veteran‑owned small businesses | Training begins after enactment; guidance due within 180 days; annual reports follow each year |
