Fairness for Small Businesses in Infrastructure Contracts

This act aims to make it easier for small businesses, especially those from disadvantaged groups, to secure contracts in large infrastructure projects. This means more local businesses can participate in building roads, bridges, and other investments, potentially leading to new jobs and economic growth in communities. These changes could increase opportunities for small businesses to win government contracts.
Key points
Removes the exclusion of certain small businesses from the disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Expands the definition of 'small business concern' within the DBE program to align with the general definition in the Small Business Act.
