New law will help veteran entrepreneurs
The American Legion
Veteran
entrepreneurs will benefit from a new law aimed at helping them grow
their small businesses, create jobs and expand economic opportunity.
The Veterans Small Business Enhancement Act
was signed into law by President Trump earlier this month. The
legislation adds veterans to the list of eligible recipients for federal
surplus personal property, such as office equipment and furniture to
specialized apparatuses including scientific devices and heavy
machinery.
Veteran small business
owners now join women and minority small business owners and veterans
service organizations (VSOs) as eligible recipients for federal surplus
personal property.
The American
Legion and other VSOs, including VFW and Paralyzed Veterans of America,
supported the legislation. The Legion’s National Executive Committee
passed Resolution 21 at the 2018 Fall Meetings to support legislation ensuring parity for veterans in all state and federal small business programs.
