H.R. 4340 · 114th Congress
SB CAPE Act of 2016
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Small Business Contracting and Acquisition Programs Efficiency Act of 2016 or the SB CAPE Act of 2016
This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to initiate a review of the Office of Government Contracting and Business Development (OGCBD) of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
This review shall examine:
- the extent to which SBA personnel who carry out certain procurement and business development programs report to the OGCBD,
- whether greater efficiency and consistency in the certification process of the procurement and business development programs could be achieved by creating a single organizational unit of employees to process all certifications required by such programs,
- whether greater efficiency and efficacy in the performance of such programs could be achieved by improving the alignment of the field personnel assigned to them,
- how the OGCBD could improve its staffing of regulatory drafting functions and its coordination with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to ensure timely rulemaking by the SBA, and
- any other areas in which the GAO determines that the SBA could improve its performance with respect to procurement and business development programs.
