Veterans
Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999
Purpose is to expand existing small business programs and establish new
assistance programs for veterans who own and operate small business firms.
This act recognizes that many veterans and/or reservists have been negatively
impacted by the numerous military deployments in the past 10 years. It
allows active duty reservists to defer repayment of loans when they are
on active duty. The period of deferral shall begin when the eligible reservist
is ordered to active duty and shall terminate 180 days after the reservist
is released from active duty. The act also establishes the Associate Administrator
of Veterans Business Development within the Small Business Administration.
The act also defines service-disabled veteran and veteran owned firm.
