Chairman Chabot’s Statement on House Passage of H.R. 5044, the Service-Disabled Veterans Small Business Continuation ActWASHINGTON—Today, House Committee on Small Business Chairman Steve Chabot (R-OH) released the following statement upon the House passage of his bill, H.R. 5044, the Service-Disabled Veterans Small Business Continuation Act: “America owes a debt of gratitude to not only members of our military, but also their families. My bill ensures that the surviving spouses of service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses are able to retain the service-disabled veteran-owned status of their small business for a period of time after the passing of their veteran spouse,” stated Chairman Chabot. “Most importantly, this bill provides peace of mind for surviving spouses of veteran business owners.” Chairman Chabot has made veteran small business issues a key pillar for the Committee on Small Business during his tenure. The Committee has held multiple hearings on veterans’ business development and has successfully passed veterans-related bills such as the Veterans Entrepreneurship Act, which has since been signed into law. |
