Prohibits discrimination in government procurement

This bill prohibits state and local government agencies from denying government contracts or procurement opportunities based on protected characteristics like race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other factors. It directly affects businesses seeking state contracts by requiring agencies to evaluate bids without discrimination against individuals or their business associates. Key provisions make it unlawful for state entities to reject bids due to a person's race, gender, disability, or other protected traits, while allowing policies to increase participation by historically underrepresented groups. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
