What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under this bill, the Department of Administration must attempt to ensure that it pays certified woman-owned businesses 5 percent of the total amount expended for architectural and engineering services in each fiscal year, which is identical to the requirement for minority-owned businesses under current law. Also under the bill, DOA must include information regarding contracts awarded to and money paid to woman-owned businesses in an annual report to the governor and legislature, in a manner identical to that required for minority-owned businesses on the state's progress of meeting this goal.
