H.R. 4405: Women's Business Centers Improvements Act of 2019

116th Congress

To amend the Small Business Act to improve the women's business center program, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Sharice Davids — D — KS

Authorizes the appropriation of $31.5 million each year through 2023 for the Women Business Centers program, administered by the Small Business Administration. That program distributes grants to centers that provide counseling and training to women-owned businesses. In 2019, $18.5 million was allocated for those purposes. H.R. 4405 would expand eligibility, raise the grant maximum, and permit grantees to use funds to cover the costs of soliciting nonfederal matching dollars.
