Roger Williams: “Money that is intended to assist our most vulnerable small businesses during COVID should do just that and not fund…”

Small businesses do not have the resource to hire compliance officers, lawyers, or lobbyists to ensure that they understand and have their voices heard.

The fundamental question this bill addresses is: Should a Federal contract intended for women go to men and fraudsters, or should a Federal contract intended for women-owned small businesses actually go to women? Fortunately, even though…

This important legislation will hold these fraudsters accountable, and I urge my colleagues to support it. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

This amendment also guts the purpose of this bill by directing agencies to do something already within their purview.
