Bill > HR2906

This bill, the Fairness to Veterans for Infrastructure Investment Act of 2013, amends MAP-21, a law related to transportation funding, to ensure that veteran-owned small businesses have improved opportunities to receive contracts for federal infrastructure projects. Specifically, it revises the existing requirement that 10% of contracts for federal-aid highways, public transportation, and highway safety research be set aside for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, by mandating that this set-aside must now include veteran-owned small business concerns, which are defined as small businesses owned and controlled by veterans.
