To extend the SBIR and STTR programs, and for other purposes, Sec. 6

Subsection (b)(3) adds a new subparagraph (C) to section 9(r)(4) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(r)(4)). The duty is to develop simplified and standardized procedures and model contracts for Phase I, Phase II and Phase III SBIR awards, and to report to the Administrator on what the agency has done toward those aims. No date or interval is set for the report.

That sentence, in plain words

The agency must make its forms simpler and the same across cases. It must also write model contracts. Then it must tell the small business agency what it did.

What this is about

This covers all three stages of the program. A model contract is a form that can be filled in. The law sets no date for the report.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
