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.
