Summary

The bill adds a new section to the state code that bars any state agency, school district, university, or other public entity from requiring or giving preference, quota, or goal based on race when awarding contracts, subcontracts, or grants. Any such policy or contract clause is declared void and unenforceable, and conflicting statutes are repealed. It aims to ensure that public procurement decisions are race‑neutral.
