Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
Adds a new reporting requirement to the Small Business Act scorecards to count ‘‘new small business entrants’’ that win Federal prime contracts by NAICS code each fiscal year, including counts for SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB, and women-owned firms, with year-over-year comparison if available. Defines "new small business entrant" and "scorecard" and makes no new appropriations.
Liberals want stronger enforcement and follow-up funding
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly targeted administrative amendment that clearly adds a defined metric to the federal small-business scorecard framework and includes concise statutory definitions.

Liberals want stronger enforcement and follow-up funding
Likely views the bill positively as a transparency and equity improvement that highlights first-time federal contractors and historically disadvantaged owners.
Would welcome data that can reveal barriers and measure access, but may see the bill as limited without enforcement or funding for outreach.
Sees this as a modest, practical improvement to federal contracting transparency that is low-cost and unlikely to be controversial.
Would focus on implementation details to minimize burden and ensure data quality across agencies.
May be cautiously supportive because it promotes small business participation without new spending, but concerned about additional bureaucracy and potential mission creep in federal oversight.
Will scrutinize reporting burden and privacy implications of demographic tracking.

The House fast-tracked this bill — skipping normal debate — and it passed with a two-thirds majority. It now moves to the Senate.
Suspending the rules allows the House to bypass normal debate procedures and pass a bill immediately with a two-thirds vote.
