A July 25, 2016, rule issued by the Small Business Administration finalizes, with changes, a proposed rule creating a comprehensive new mentor-protégé program for all small businesses.
The rule implements provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (PL 111-240) and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (PL 112-239). The major parts of the rule address SBA’s mentor-protégé program and SBA’s treatment of joint ventures. Section 1641 of the NDAA authorized SBA to establish a mentor-protégé program for all small business concerns that is similar to the existing mentor-protégé program for participants in the 8(a) Business Development program.
