The purpose of this legislation, known as the "WOSB Certification Expansion and Opportunity Act," is to improve the certification process for small businesses owned and controlled by women. The goal is to ensure that only properly certified businesses are counted towards government goals for contracting and procurement, thereby enhancing opportunities for women-owned businesses. One of the key provisions of the legislation is that it excludes self-certified women-owned small businesses from being counted towards federal contracting goals.
