Increase opportunities for small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans to receive federal contracts.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act?
The effort to increase federal contracts for service disabled veterans is stalled in the House Committee on Small Business as of January 30, 2025. The committee members must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to act. Given that no action has occurred on this proposal since January 30, 2025, it faces the same hurdle that stops the vast majority of bills from becoming law.
