What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the minimum service-connected disability rating

applicable for the Department of Administration's certification of disabled

veteran-owned businesses for state procurement and contracting purposes. Under

current law, that disability rating must be a minimum of 20 percent, as awarded by

the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Under the bill, a person who is in receipt

of any award of a service-connected disability rating from the U.S. Department of

Veterans Affairs satisfies the state requirement.
