S. 1870, Veterans Entrepreneurial Transition Act of 2015 (CBO Report for Congress)

Congress 114th
Date Requested July 29, 2015
Requested By Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
Date Sent Sept. 16, 2015
Description:

S. 1870 would establish a pilot program to provide grants to veterans that would be used to start or acquire a small business. The program would be authorized to award no more than 250 grants during a three-year period.

CBO estimates that implementing S. 1870 would cost $80 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary funds. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues.

S. 1870 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
