Small businesses owned by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, or other nonbinary gender or sexual identification addition to the list of targeted group businesses for the purposes of state procurement

Summary

The bill amends state procurement rules to treat businesses majority‑owned by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or other nonbinary individuals—certified by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce—as a targeted group. This expands the existing categories (women, disabled, specific minorities) that the commissioner can prioritize when awarding state contracts, aiming to address disparities and discrimination.
