Institutes State contract set-aside program for union business enterprises.

This bill creates a program requiring New Jersey state agencies to reserve at least 22% of eligible contracts (for goods, construction, or services) for "union business enterprises." These are businesses based in New Jersey with union workforces, that hire apprentices, and document efforts to maintain diverse hiring. State agencies must verify businesses meet these criteria before awarding set-aside contracts, and they must develop annual plans to achieve the 22% goal through direct awards or subcontracting requirements. The program operates alongside existing set-aside programs and mandates consultation between agencies and the Department of the Treasury.
