The draft bill would extend the current licensing cap that was enacted in 2016 until July 1, 2027 and include additional license categories with some limited exceptions.

The grants specifically from the money allocated for minority-owned businesses could be anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000. Some businesses could get more if they are eligible to get grants from the other pools of money.
