Bill > HR3736

This bill aims to add the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a member of the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council), which is responsible for developing and maintaining federal procurement regulations. Currently, the FAR Council includes representatives from various government agencies, and this bill would expand its membership to include the SBA Administrator. The bill requires the SBA Administrator to submit a report within 90 days of the act's enactment, detailing the personnel and resources needed to fulfill the new council responsibilities and recommending potential changes to laws, strategies, policies, or regulations that would help the Administrator effectively carry out these duties. By adding the SBA Administrator to the FAR Council, the bill seeks to enhance small business representation in federal contracting rulemaking, potentially improving procurement policies and opportunities for small businesses in government contracts.
