Small businesses would be included in projects as appropriate. Agencies could use reimbursable agreements and work with other federal agencies. Within two years of enactment, they would report to Congress on coordination, achievements, and future plans. They would have to follow rules in subtitle D of Title VI of the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act.
No extra money for these activities
If enacted, no additional amounts would be authorized to be appropriated to carry out this bill or its amendments. That would mean Congress could not add discretionary funding for these activities after enactment.
