Key Points
- This bill requires the Small Business Administration to train federal workers on how to hire more small businesses owned by veterans who were injured during their service.
- The training will focus on government agencies that are currently failing to meet their goals for working with disabled veteran-owned companies.
- Within six months of the bill becoming law, the government must release a guide on the best ways to find and hire these veteran-owned businesses.
- Every year, the government will have to give a report to Congress listing which agencies missed their goals and how many training sessions they completed.
- The goal is to make sure more of the billions of dollars the government spends each year goes to veterans who sacrificed for their country.
