Bill > HB1230

This bill makes several changes to how the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) handles its procurement processes, particularly concerning programs designed to support local and small businesses. It repeals the specific name "Office of Supplier Diversity and Inclusion" and allows the Commission to name this office itself, while still outlining its responsibilities. The bill broadens the scope of the local and small business enterprise program to include not only local or small businesses but also certain other businesses that contribute to the Commission's economic goals. Additionally, it authorizes the WSSC to accept as a registered vendor any business that is already registered with another jurisdiction or has self-certified as a vendor according to the Commission's regulations, aiming to streamline the vendor registration process.
