TITLE 50 STATE GOVERNMENT

Section 5. Department of Administrative Services, 50-5-1 through 50-5-202.

ARTICLE 3 STATE PURCHASING

50-5-130. Purpose.

The General Assembly recognizes that the preservation and expansion of the American economic system of private enterprise is through free competition, but it also recognizes that the security and well-being brought about by such competition cannot be realized unless the actual and potential capacity of minority business enterprises is encouraged and developed.Therefore, it is the intent of the General Assembly that the state define a "minority business enterprise" for purposes of representation in the area of procurement of state contracts for construction, services, equipment, and goods.
