Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to make a good faith effort to use certified minority and women-owned businesses as prime and subcontractor contractors. It builds upon a previous disparity study that found underrepresentation of these businesses in state contracts. The bill establishes a process for agencies to track and report on their progress, and mandates a statewide disparity study to be conducted to further assess the situation and inform future procurement strategies. It also creates rules and regulations to ensure agencies actively promote and assist these businesses in securing state contracts.
