Background
The proposed legislation would amend provisions of the County Code relating to certifications of minority business enterprises. The legislation would allow the Purchasing Agent to consider certifications of entities that administer minority business enterprise certification programs based upon eligibility criteria that exceeds or differs from those utilized by the Maryland Department of Transportation and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and that further the County’s minority business enterprise participation goals. The legislation would also transfer the function of certifying, decertifying and hearing complaints regarding minority business enterprises from the Minority Business Opportunities Commission to the Minority Business Development Division of the Office of Central Services to reflect the current practice and procedures of the County.
