Relates to a minority and women-owned business enterprise participation goal requirement in order to receive grant or appropriation money

This bill requires municipalities and local entities in the state to meet specific participation goals for minority and women-owned businesses when receiving state grant or appropriation money for goods and services. It defines municipalities to include villages, towns, cities, counties, and school districts, and extends these requirements to any entity that subcontracts with them. The law maintains the existing ability for applicants to request waivers under current executive law provisions and takes effect immediately upon passage.
