Summary

The bill adds a new law that obligates each state agency’s small‑business liaison to send the Office of the Small Business Advocate a yearly list of all contracts and subcontracts involving small businesses, including the contract values and payments made to those businesses. The Office must then publish this information on its website. The measure aims to give small businesses and the public clearer insight into state procurement activities.
