Bill overview
This bill, the Small Business Protection Act of 2020, aims to level the playing field for small businesses and the private sector by eliminating certain advantages held by Federal Prison Industries (FPI). Specifically, it repeals a requirement for federal agencies to purchase from FPI and restricts FPI’s ability to compete for contracts with small businesses, preventing inmate access to sensitive data. The bill also directs the government to report on the transition of FPI’s operations and the resulting impact on the agency’s revenue.
