AI Summary
This bill aims to promote equity in public contracting in Massachusetts. It introduces definitions for "low income community," "minority business enterprise," and "women business enterprise." The bill requires contractors to provide detailed reports on the allocation of contract payments to minority and women-owned businesses, as well as the racial, ethnic, and gender makeup of their workforce. It also sets goals for the Commonwealth to achieve minority and women-owned business contracting and workforce participation that reflect the state's diverse population, particularly for projects located in low-income communities. Additionally, the bill considers a bidder's past compliance with diversity commitments when evaluating their responsibility.
