Bill Summary
For legislation relative to equity in public contracting in honor of Bruce C. Bolling. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote equity in public contracting in Massachusetts. It defines "low-income community," "minority business enterprise," and "women business enterprise," and requires contractors awarded state contracts to report on the allocation of payments to such enterprises and the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of their workforce. The bill also sets goals for the Commonwealth to achieve diverse contracting and workforce participation reflective of the state's population, particularly in construction projects located in low-income communities. Additionally, it requires the consideration of a bidder's past performance in meeting diversity commitments when determining responsibility for public contracts.
