Supporting Disabled Entrepreneurs Act

This bill would create a Coordinator for Disabled Small Business Concerns within the Small Business Administration's Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights. Within 180 days, the SBA Administrator would name a person with experience working with disabled-owned small businesses to fill the role. The Coordinator would create support programs, run outreach and training through SBA offices and partners, hold public meetings every 6 months, and report to Congress within 2 years. The SBA would also publicly report data on services to disabled small businesses and, within 1 year, collect voluntary disability status data through program intake forms.
