Draft legislation is working its way through the Indiana Statehouse that would set-aside state contracting money for veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB).
Under House Bill 1312, the state's Department of Administration would be tasked with establishing a VOSB certification program, which the state would use to identify firms eligible to meet an annual VOSB procurement goal of three percent.
The state currently has a similar program in place for minority and women-owned businesses.
