Ohio law on minority bids tested by contractors group
The Ohio construction industry faces a potential court challenge to a new law that aims to reserve some public contracts for minority firms. The Associated General Contractors of Ohio urged the Controlling Board to block the plan to limit bids on a $290,224 state drug treatment facility renovation to minority-owned firms. The board allowed the project, amid a 4-2 vote by majority Democrats. The dispute centers on whether the law intends to mandate or merely encourage minority participation, with lawmakers' intent disputed by board members and senators alike.
