Enacts the "MWBE equality act"

Summary

The MWBE Equality Act amends several state statutes to include ethno‑religious persons as a protected minority group for minority‑ and women‑owned business programs. It updates the definitions of minority business enterprises and minority group members, and directs agencies to create procedures that ensure meaningful participation of these businesses in public projects. The change broadens eligibility for contracts and procurement opportunities.
