A new bipartisan bill from the U.S. House of Representatives was introduced to help veteran-owned businesses remain competitive, Reps. Michelle Steel (R-Calif.) and Katie Porter (D-Calif.) announced on Feb. 1.
The bill, called the Driving Veterans Success Act, would create a new Veterans Business Enterprise Program. The program would require the Department of Transportation to ensure at least 10 percent of all future federal highway and transit contracts go to veteran-owned small businesses.
