Creates provisions relating to veteran preferences for contracts

Summary

HB 1749 defines honorably discharged veteran‑owned enterprises and service‑disabled veteran businesses and directs all state agencies and political subdivisions to award them a three‑point preference when bidding on public contracts. The bill sets a goal that at least three percent of such contracts go to these veteran firms and gives the commissioner of administration rule‑making authority to implement the program. It passed a second reading and referral but ultimately failed to become law.
