Ohio lawmakers are considering a bill to provide a bid preference of 5 percent or $5,000 to veteran-owned businesses competing for state contracts.
Ohio would join at least 27 states — up from 12 in 2009 — that have some type of law or executive order to help those businesses, according to the National Veteran-Owned Business Association. Some, including California and New York, go further by requiring a percentage of state contracts be set aside for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans, as does federal law, said association spokesman Matthew Pavelek.

Did you know that every state and territory offers special veterans benefits you or your family may be eligible for?

This is great news for sure. We have to do everything we can to stimulate the Economy and get our Great Ohio Veterans back to work. Please share the news as soon as we get the results of the bill!
