Bill Summary
Relative to diversity in public contracting. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote equity in public workforce by making several changes to Massachusetts state law. It defines "low income community" and "minority" and "women" for the purposes of the bill. It requires that public construction projects located in low-income communities have a workforce that is at least 51% residents, 40% minority, and 12% women of the host community. The bill also requires entities awarded state construction contracts to provide detailed workforce data, including breakdowns by worker residence, gender, and minority status, with each progress payment request. This data will be reported to the state's financial management system to improve transparency around workforce demographics on public projects.
