The bill requires the State Auditor to report to the Building and Procurement Commission, the Senate Finance Committee, and the House Appropriations Committee on state agencies that are not complying with the requirements to make a good faith effort to increase the use of historically underutilized businesses in purchasing and public works contracting.
The bill would also require agencies that have been reported as not being in compliance to send a letter to the State Auditor, the Legislative Audit Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee stating actions that would be taken to make a good faith effort to comply with provisions relating to the use of historically underutilized businesses.
