Bill 118 hr 1606, also known as the Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Act of 2023, aims to provide support and resources for veterans who are interested in starting their own businesses. The bill recognizes the valuable skills and experiences that veterans bring to the table and seeks to help them transition into successful entrepreneurs.

Under this legislation, the Small Business Administration (SBA) would be required to establish a program to provide training and counseling to veterans who are interested in starting or expanding their own businesses.
