Modifies provisions relating to certain veteran-owned businesses

HB 1562 requires owners of veteran-owned small businesses receiving loans from eligible lenders to complete an approved "boots-to-business" program. The bill mandates that participants be assigned a mentor for 365 days after loan approval, with at least quarterly meetings. This directly affects veteran business owners securing qualifying loans under existing state lending programs, modifying their post-loan requirements. The bill does not create new funding but adds a structured support requirement tied to loan disbursement.
