Committee forwards procurement policy updates after noting state law changes affecting underutilized business program
Summary
The committee forwarded updates to bidder prequalification (91‑15) and participation by businesses (91‑25) to the board, noting packet language referencing the 2026 Appropriations Act's repeal of provisions for historically underutilized businesses.
Committee members approved forwarding procurement‑related policies to the full board after reviewing packet notes about statutory changes. Members located a packet note explaining the 2026 Appropriations Act eliminated the Office for Historically Underutilized Businesses and repealed related statutory provisions, and one board member said the change removes explicit references to minority and women businesses while retaining small‑business language.
Members expressed disappointment at the legislative change but supported forwarding the policy with statutory updates reflected in the packet. The committee recorded the vote to send 91‑15 and 91‑25 to the board by voice vote, 3–0.
