This legislation requires the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days of its enactment. The report's primary focus is to identify and assess the unique challenges encountered by entrepreneurs with disabilities when establishing and running their businesses. It mandates a detailed description of the SBA's current resources, support, and outreach efforts specifically targeting this demographic, including activities by district offices, small business development centers, and women's business centers. Furthermore, the report must highlight any deficiencies in existing support and describe joint efforts with other federal agencies to promote economic success for these entrepreneurs. Crucially, the Administrator is also required to provide recommendations for legislative actions necessary to address the identified challenges and needs, all without authorizing additional funds.
