It is the intent of the State to avoid becoming a passive participant in private sector commercial discrimination by refusing to procure goods and services from business entities that discriminate in the solicitation, selection, hiring, or commercial treatment of vendors, suppliers, subcontractors, or commercial customers on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry or national origin, sex, age, marital status, gender identity, sexual orientation, or on the basis of disability or other unlawful forms of discrimination by providing a procedure for receiving, investigating, and resolving complaints of discrimination filed against business entities that: (1) have submitted a bid or proposal; or (2) have been selected to engage in, or are engaged in, providing goods or services to the State.
