Section 857 of the John S.

Modifications to budget display requirements for the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (sec. 883) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 887) that would amend section 857 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232; 132 Stat. 1891) to revise budget display requirements for the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees' aim is to allow visibility into the SBIR/STTR effort to better support the program, and to support the alignment of each military services' SBIR/STTR program under the Service Secretary's strategic vision for their budget.
