Georgia

Rank: 2 Stars

Description: Per the Department of Administrative Services, the FOR VETS Act of 2013 allows eligible Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) to participate in the Federal Surplus Property Program. The Veterans Small Business Enhancement Act of 2018 allows qualified veteran-owned small businesses to acquire federal surplus property through their State Agency for Surplus Property (SASP).  Learn more here.

The Investing in VETS Act was signed into law as part of the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act and is one of U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan bills. It now requires the federal government to award at least 5% of its contracts to small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans.

Georgia veterans are eligible for a certificate granting exemption from any occupation tax, administrative fee, or regulatory fee imposed by local governments for peddling, conducting business, or practicing a profession or semi-profession for ten years, if they were discharged under honorable conditions, and are service-connected disability rating of 10 percent or more.
