The bill amends the Certified Business Enterprise Program to enhance compliance and enforcement.

The bill modifies the Certified Business Enterprise Program by requiring government-assisted contracts to include a provision that certified business enterprises must comply with the Administrative Hearings Establishment Act of 2001. It mandates the Department to investigate formal and informal complaints, with the option to dismiss frivolous complaints. The bill also allows the Department to summarily suspend certifications if violations present an imminent danger. It outlines procedures for hearings and the reissuance of certifications after suspensions.
