Bill overview
This bill, the WOSB Certification Expansion and Opportunity Act, aims to improve the process of certifying and supporting women-owned small businesses in federal contracting. It clarifies that only businesses officially certified by a federal agency, state government, or approved national entity can be counted towards government-wide and agency goals for these businesses. The bill also establishes a process for considering self-certified businesses while the SBA works to determine their official certification status, and requires quarterly briefings to Congress on the implementation of these changes.
