The bill would require navigation districts and port authorities when seeking bids for purchases or contracts to indicate whether a small business development program adopted by the port commission or navigation district applies to the purchase and, if so, where a copy of the program requirements may be obtained.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2003.
