AI Summary

This bill aims to promote equity in public contracting in Massachusetts. It defines key terms like "low-income community," "minority business enterprise," and "women business enterprise." The bill requires contractors awarded state contracts to provide detailed reports on the allocation of payments to minority and women-owned businesses, as well as workforce demographics. It also sets goals for the commonwealth to achieve minority and women-owned business contracting and workforce participation that reflect the state's population diversity, with a focus on targeting job creation in low-income communities. The bill further allows public agencies to consider a bidder's past compliance with diversity commitments when evaluating responsibility.
