Relates to establishing expanded construction mentorship opportunities for small business enterprises

Removed the requirement that mentorship programs specifically connect minority and women-owned business enterprises with state agencies or contractors; the focus is now solely on small business enterprises.

Stripped the phrase 'and minority and women-owned' from the description of businesses whose capabilities are to be enhanced under the mentor-protege program.

Replaced references to 'minority and women-owned business enterprise' with 'small business enterprise' in the Public Authorities Law section regarding bonding assistance and program establishment.

Updated the bill title and legislative history to reflect the removal of 'minority and women-owned' from the act's title and to indicate the bill was re-referred to the committee after amendment.
