Prohibits discrimination in government procurement

This bill amends state law to explicitly prohibit government agencies and political subdivisions from discriminating in procurement contracts based on factors such as race, sexual orientation, disability, and age. It defines it as an unlawful practice to deny a contracting opportunity to any person or their business associates, including suppliers and partners, for these protected reasons. The legislation also allows the state to create policies aimed at increasing participation by groups that have historically been underrepresented in government contracting. Finally, the bill establishes a division within the executive department tasked with eliminating discrimination across various sectors, including government procurement and employment.
