Wis. bill gives veteran businesses edgeMADISON, Wis. - The state Assembly has passed a bill that gives disabled veterans' businesses preferences in bids for state work.
Under the bill, state officials could accept a bid from a disabled veteran's business that is 5 percent more than the lowest bid. The Department of Administration would report annually to lawmakers on the money paid to disabled veterans' businesses and develop a target percentage within four years.
Similar preferences already exist for minority-owned businesses trying to win state work.
The Democratic-controlled Assembly passed the bill on a voice vote. It goes next to the state Senate.
