Summary
Agencies must not use money from their yearly budget to sign a contract with a company that was supposed to file a veterans’ employment report for the previous fiscal year but did not file it. The ban ends for a company once it files the missing report for that fiscal year. The Secretary of Labor must keep a database showing which companies have filed the report.
