Committee Approves Small Biz Aid

The House Small Business Committee has passed several entrepreneurial development programs they say would help modernize the SBA. Native American, women and veteran entrepreneurs would be affected by the legislation, as would small-business owners struggling with rising health-care and energy costs. One piece of legislation, H.R. 2359, or the SBA Entrepreneurial Development Programs Act of 2007, would expand Small Business Development Centers that deal with health-care and energy burdens and would help entrepreneurs deal with regulatory issues. The SBA Women's Business Programs Act of 2007, also known as H.R. 2397, would create new Women's Business Centers across the country, giving women-owned businesses the resources they need to succeed. Under H.R. 2366 and H.R. 2284, additional Veterans Business Outreach Centers would be created, as would a customized program giving educational and technical assistance to Native American entrepreneurs.
