To increase funding for the Women’s Business Center Program.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 18, 1998
Ms. VELA´ZQUEZ (for herself, Mr. GOODE, Mrs. MCCARTHY of New York, Mr.
LAFALCE, Mr. DAVIS of Illinois, and Mr. HINOJOSA) introduced the fol-
lowing bill; which was referred to the Committee on Small Business
A BILL
To increase funding for the Women’s Business Center
Program.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Women’s Small Busi-
ness Expansion Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Women are changing the face of America’s
economy. Women-owned businesses are increasing in
number, range, diversity and earning power. As
women business owners expand their companies,
they contribute to the economic success of our na-
tional economy.
(2) In 1996, nearly 8 million women-owned
businesses in the United States employed over 18.5
million people and generated close to $2.3 trillion in
sales.
(3) 13 percent of women-owned businesses in
the United States are owned by minority women; the
1,067,000 minority women-owned firms employ
1,694,300 people and generate $184.2 billion in
sales.
(4) There is a need to increase the authoriza-
tion level for the women’s business centers because
they are the only organizations nationally that focus
exclusively on entrepreneurial training programs for
women.
(5) Increased funding would allow for new cen-
ters and subcenters to be established, and continued
funding for existing centers, including the on-line
women’s business center.
(6) Increased funding will ensure that the
Small Business Administration achieves the goal of
establishing and sustaining at least one women’s
business center in each State.
SEC. 3. INCREASE IN AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIA-
TIONS FOR THE WOMEN’S BUSINESS CENTER
PROGRAM.
Section 29(k)(1) of the Small Business Act (15
