Includes Jewish persons with definitions of "minority," "minority group member," and "minority business."

This bill amends New Jersey law to include Jewish persons within the statutory definitions of "minority," "minority group member," and "minority business." The change would expand eligibility for minority business enterprise programs and set-aside contracts to Jewish-owned businesses that previously did not qualify under the existing definitions. The bill updates various sections of law that use these terms in contexts including public contracting, procurement guidelines, and business certification programs. This is a technical definition change that ensures Jewish business owners can access the same opportunities as other defined minority business owners in state procurement processes.
