This appropriations bill includes an expression of concern regarding the backlog of applications for WOSB certification, and accompanying report language urges SBA to ensure that requests are processing expeditiously. The language is consistent with NWBC’s 2021 recommendation to SBA to improve the turnaround time for obtaining a WOSB/EDWOSB certification; and its 2022 recommendation to SBA to streamline and reduce wait times on WOSB certification. The House Committee reported this bill for full consideration in June 2024.
