Hoosier State Today

U.S. Senators Todd Young from Indiana and Jim Risch from Idaho have introduced a new legislative measure aimed at simplifying the process of federal government contracting for small businesses. The proposed bill, known as the Simplifying Subcontracting Act, seeks to make subcontracting agreements more accessible by using clear and straightforward language.

Senator Young expressed that the bill's objective is to create more opportunities for small businesses in Indiana, stating: "Our bill will make government subcontracting agreements easier to understand, opening up more opportunities for Hoosier small businesses to compete for these contracts."

The legislation is concise, comprising only one page, and emphasizes clarity in contractual language. It has garnered support from other senators including Mike Crapo of Idaho, John Kennedy of Louisiana, and John Hickenlooper of Colorado.
