A 827 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Removes principal place of business requirement of "Set-Aside Act for Disabled Veterans' Businesses."

This bill (A-827) removes the requirement that disabled veterans' businesses must have a physical office in New Jersey to qualify for state contracts under the Set-Aside Act. It directly affects disabled veteran-owned businesses seeking state contracts, allowing them to qualify even if their principal place of business is outside New Jersey. The key change amends the law to eliminate the "principal place of business in the State" language from the definition of eligible businesses. This adjustment aims to expand the pool of eligible businesses, potentially helping state agencies meet their goal of awarding at least 3% of contracts to disabled veterans' businesses.
