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 to report on the portion of payments allocated to minority and women-owned businesses, as well as the racial, ethnic, and gender makeup of their workforce. It also sets goals for the Commonwealth to achieve minority and women-owned business contracting and workforce participation that reflects the state's diverse population, particularly in low-income communities. The bill also considers a bidder's past compliance with diversity commitments when evaluating their responsibility.
