Bill > H3341

This bill modifies existing law related to supplier diversity certification by adding two key provisions to Chapter 7, Section 61 of the Massachusetts General Laws. First, the bill establishes that a Supplier Diversity Organization (SDO) certification will be valid for three years before requiring recertification. Second, the bill requires businesses with a supplier diversity certification to proactively report any changes in their status that would cause them to become non-compliant with certification requirements within 30 days of such a status change. The purpose of this legislation appears to be to create more structured and transparent guidelines for businesses seeking to maintain their supplier diversity certification, which typically aims to support minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and other historically underrepresented business enterprises in receiving government contracts and opportunities.
