Creates a new role at the Small Business Administration to better support disabled entrepreneurs.
This bill would create a new Coordinator position within the Small Business Administration (SBA) to specifically help small businesses owned by people with disabilities. This Coordinator would work to improve access to money, advice, and government contracts for these businesses. The bill would also require the SBA to collect and report data to better understand the needs of disabled small business owners.
Today, the Small Business Administration (SBA) does not have a specific role dedicated to coordinating support for small businesses owned by people with disabilities, nor does it regularly collect or report data on their disability status. If this bill becomes law, the SBA would create a new Coordinator position focused on improving access to capital, counseling, and contracts for these businesses. The SBA would also be required to start collecting voluntary data on disability status within one year and publicly report on services provided to disabled small businesses.
