Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a new law last week, awarding 6 percent of state contracts to businesses owned by disabled veterans.  This Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act will affect the nearly 106,000 service-connected disabled veterans who live in New York state, according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs. 

5 things that the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act aims to achieve:

• Create the Division of Service-Disabled Veterans’ Business Development within the Office of General Services.
• Compile a public directory of businesses owned by disabled veterans.
• Annual progress reports on meeting the 6 percent goal.
• Extend the Jobs for Heroes program and the Hire-a-Vet tax credit.
• Certify eligible businesses that are allowed to bid on state contracts.
