Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Small Business Act to eliminate certain requirements relating to the award of construction subcontracts within the county or State of performance.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to eliminate a specific requirement in the Small Business Act related to construction subcontracts. Currently, paragraph (11) of section 8(a) of the Small Business Act mandates certain rules about awarding construction subcontracts within the same county or state where the work is being performed. By repealing this paragraph, the bill would remove geographic restrictions on how small businesses can award subcontracts for construction projects. This means that small businesses would have more flexibility in choosing subcontractors, potentially allowing them to select contractors based on factors like cost, expertise, or availability, rather than being limited to local businesses. The change could impact how small businesses compete for and execute construction contracts, potentially broadening their pool of potential subcontractors and potentially affecting local economic dynamics in construction markets.
