Velazquez says her legislation will help would-be entrepreneurs
Two pieces of legislation that U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez said are designed to help entrepreneurs and women in business were recently approved by the House Committee on Small Business.
If they become law, the bills would help New York entrepreneurs grow their businesses and create good paying, local jobs, according to Velazquez, who is the sponsor of both bills.
“With more than 190,000 small enterprises, small businesses are the backbone of New York’s economy and our most prolific job creators,” said Velazquez (Brooklyn-Manhattan), who is the top Democrat on the committee. “The legislation I authored will generate new opportunity for our city’s entrepreneurs, empowering them to grow and add employees to their payrolls.”
