"F. The Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity shall include employment services organizations within the development and operation of any state procurement program or program goal and targets for small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses consistent with requirements in the the Code of Virginia requiring the Department to certify employment service organizations."


Explanation
(This amendment requires the Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity to comply with existing statutory provisions and legislative intent by requiring that employment services organizations shall be included in SWAM procurement programs and supplier diversification strategies. As the Department currently supports 5.0 FTE within the Office of the Secretary of Commerce and Trade, it is assumed that resources are available to meet all compliance costs.)
