Requires NJTA, SJTA, EDA, CRDA, PANYNJ, and DRPA to consider minorities and women when hiring or awarding contracts.
This bill requires six New Jersey authorities - NJTA, SJTA, EDA, CRDA, PANYNJ, and DRPA - to consider and prioritize minorities and women in hiring decisions and contract awards. It mandates these entities to publish quarterly reports on employee and contractor demographics, including gender, race, ethnicity, and average salaries or contract amounts. The law defines "minority" to include Black, Hispanic, Asian American, and American Indian or Alaskan Native individuals, and specifies criteria for "minority businesses" and "women's businesses." The provisions for PANYNJ and DRPA will only take effect if New York and Pennsylvania enact similar laws. The bill aims to increase diversity in employment and contracting within these major state authorities.
