Bill Summary
This bill includes Jewish persons within the definitions of "minority," "minority group member," and "minority business" in laws concerning public contracts and grants. Under current law concerning public contracts and grants, the definitions of "minority," "minority group member," and "minority business" include persons who are black, Hispanic, Asian-American, American Indian or Alaskan natives, and, in certain definitions, Portuguese. This bill would add Jewish persons to such definitions.
AI Summary
This bill amends various New Jersey laws to include Jewish persons within the definitions of "minority," "minority group member," and "minority business," which are terms used in laws concerning public contracts, grants, and business development programs. Previously, these definitions typically included individuals who are Black, Hispanic, Asian-American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and in some instances, Portuguese. By adding Jewish persons to these definitions, the bill aims to ensure that Jewish individuals and businesses are recognized and can potentially benefit from programs designed to support minority-owned enterprises and promote diversity in public contracting and economic development initiatives.
