Default Dickinson Wants Gays, Transgenders, As Certified Minorities For State Contracts

Another horrible, discriminatory bill for state contracting set asides

Quote:
AB 1960, as introduced, Dickinson. State contracts: reports:
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender businesses.
(1) Existing law governing public contracts requires the
Department of Transportation to establish and administer a
computerized databank containing a list of certified minority, women,
and disadvantaged business enterprises.
This bill would require the Department of Transportation to
include, in that databank, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
businesses.
(2) Existing law requires the Department of General Services to
make available a report on contracting activity containing specified
information, including the level of participation of business
enterprises, by race, ethnicity, and gender of owner, in specified
contracts.
This bill would require the Department of General Services to
include in the report on contracting activity information regarding
the level of participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender
businesses in specified contracts, as provided.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
