HR 4669

Sponsored by Nick LaLota (R)

DOE and SBA Research Act

Would have required the Department of Energy (DOE) and Small Business Administration (SBA) to run joint research.

Tradeoff

Would have had DOE and SBA share research work and report to Congress within two years. Would have pulled small businesses into that research, where appropriate.
