HR 9930 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Small Business Act to include surviving children in the definition of small business concern owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans, and for other purposes.

HR 9930 amends the Small Business Act to allow surviving children of service-disabled veterans to maintain a business's eligibility as a veteran-owned concern after the veteran owner's death. The bill directly affects small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans where a surviving child (biological or legally adopted) inherits the veteran's ownership stake. Key provisions create a 3-year transition period starting when the veteran dies, during which the business retains eligibility if the child acquires ownership and the business was previously included in the veteran-owned business database. This change ensures continuity for businesses that would otherwise lose veteran-owned status upon the owner's death, without altering the 51% ownership requirement during the transition.
