Preamble
WHEREAS, The General Assembly of Maryland enacted Chapter
575 of 1978 for the purposes set out in the Preamble of that
enactment (which Preamble is incorporated by reference in this
enactment) and in order to bring greater numbers of
minority-owned businesses into the State's procurement process;
and
WHEREAS, That law has resulted in substantial increases in
the number and total dollar amounts of State procurement
contracts or subcontracts being let to businesses owned and
operated by members of certain socially or economically
disadvantaged population groups; and
WHEREAS, The General Assembly believes that the Minority
Business Law should be continued for at least 5 more years, but
with annual oversight by appropriate committees of the General
Assembly; and
WHEREAS, All State agencies that contract for services,
supplies, or construction should take steps to encourage
participation by minority businesses in their procurement
procedures; now, therefore,
