Stops counting self‑certified women‑owned small businesses toward federal and agency WOSB contracting goals unless the business is officially certified through the SBA’s WOSB program. This aims to tighten data quality and ensure only verified WOSBs are used to set and measure goals.
Provides a transition: self‑certified WOSBs that applied for certification before the effective date will be treated as certified until SBA makes a decision. Requires SBA to issue regulations and give regular briefings to congressional small business committees. No new funding is authorized.
