What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, minority-owned businesses that are certified by the Department of

Administration receive certain preferences in governmental procurement. State

agencies must attempt to ensure that 5 percent of the total amount expended for

state procurements in each fiscal year is paid to minority-owned businesses. This

bill increases the percentage to 7 percent of the total amount expended for state

procurements in each fiscal year.
