AI Summary

This bill aims to increase the participation of minority and women-owned businesses (MBEs and WBEs) in public construction projects in Massachusetts. It allows filed sub-bidders and trade contractors on certain large public projects to subcontract portions of their work to MBEs and WBEs in order to meet participation goals set by the awarding authority, up to a maximum of 110% of the participation goal. The bill also requires the Commissioner to establish a waiver process for sub-bidders and trade contractors who request a reduction or waiver of the participation goals.
