Prison to Proprietorship for the Formerly Incarcerated Act
This bill requires the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) to provide nationwide entrepreneurship counseling and training to people recently released from federal prisons. It mandates mentoring, business planning assistance, and help accessing capital to help them start or grow small businesses. Annual reports to Congress will track participation, demographics, and program effectiveness. The law directly affects formerly incarcerated individuals in federal custody, not state prisons.
