A 1957 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates State contract set-aside program for businesses owned and operated by persons with disabilities.

This bill creates a new program requiring New Jersey state agencies to reserve at least 3% of their contracts for businesses owned and operated by people with disabilities. To qualify, a business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by a person with a disability, certified by organizations like Disability:IN, and based in New Jersey. The Department of the Treasury will administer the program, including verifying business eligibility, maintaining a list of certified businesses, and handling disputes. State agencies must report annually on contracts awarded under this program to track progress toward the 3% goal.
