23 U.S.C. § 304 — Participation by small business enterprises

submitted 68 years ago by Pub. L. 85-767 to r/title-23-HIGHWAYS · 79 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress wants small businesses to have a real chance to work on federal-aid highway projects, including the Interstate System. To support that goal and keep competition open, the Secretary should help small businesses get contracts connected to highway construction, as much as is practical.

This section has no lettered subsections. It states a policy goal favoring small businesses in highway construction, rather than a strict legal requirement. It declares that it serves the national interest to encourage and develop the actual and potential capacity of small business, and to use small business as fully as is practical in building Federal-aid highways, including the Interstate System. To carry out that goal and encourage full, free competition, the Secretary should help small business enterprises get contracts connected with running the highway program, as far as that is feasible.
