Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to make a ‘good faith effort’ to increase the awarding of contracts that weren't advertised to businesses owned by minorities and women. It directs the State Treasurer to create guidelines for agencies to achieve a 30% increase in these contracts within five years. The bill also updates procurement rules to allow for contracts under a certain dollar amount to be awarded without competitive bidding, and mandates regular reporting on the implementation of these efforts.
