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 repeal paragraph (11) of section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, which currently contains specific requirements about awarding construction subcontracts within the same county or state where the primary contract is being performed. By eliminating this provision, the bill would remove geographical restrictions on subcontract awards for small businesses, potentially giving contractors more flexibility in choosing subcontractors regardless of their location. The Small Business Act is a federal law designed to support and promote small businesses, and this amendment would modify existing rules about how construction contracts are awarded, potentially making the bidding and subcontracting process more open and competitive by removing location-based limitations.
