MODERATE

The bill was amended to shift responsibility for preparing the annual M/WBE report from the State Comptroller to the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development. The new version removes the requirement to assign letter grades (A-F) to agencies and instead focuses on reporting actual spending data, goal attainment status, and specific spending categories. This change alters the mechanism of accountability from a simplified grading system to a more detailed data-driven report.

Scope change

The bill's scope of responsibility changed from the Office of the Comptroller to the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development.

REQUIREMENT

The entity responsible for preparing the annual report changed from the State Comptroller to the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development.

The requirement to assign letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) to state agencies was removed.

The report format was changed to include specific data points like percentage of eligible spending, goal attainment status, and detailed spending categories instead of letter grades.

New provisions allow the Division to consult with other agencies for data and include a clause protecting confidential or proprietary information from disclosure.
