This bill seeks to modify the Small Business Act by removing specific geographic restrictions related to the award of construction subcontracts. Currently, the Act includes a provision that dictates these subcontracts must be awarded to businesses located within the same county or state where the construction work is being performed. The legislation achieves this by repealing paragraph (11) of section 8(a) of the Small Business Act. This amendment is designed to offer small businesses greater flexibility in selecting their subcontractors, thereby potentially expanding their options beyond immediate local or state boundaries.
