Bill Summary
Relative to diversity in public contracting. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote equity and diversity in public contracting in Massachusetts. It defines key terms like "low-income community," "minority business enterprise," and "women business enterprise." The bill requires contractors awarded state contracts to provide detailed reports on the portion of payments allocated to minority and women-owned businesses, as well as the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of their Massachusetts workforce. It also allows contracting agencies to consider a bidder's past compliance with requirements regarding minority and women-owned business participation and workforce diversity when evaluating their responsibility. Additionally, the bill mandates that subcontracts on state-funded construction projects in low-income communities target at least 33% minority and women-owned businesses from the local community.
