Summary of Assembly Bill A 7233

Overview

  • Bill number: A 7233
  • Title / subject: Requires that thirty percent of state agency property management contracts be awarded to minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs).
  • Status: Referenced to the Committee on Governmental Operations.
  • Introduced: March 21, 2025
  • Sponsor: Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn (primary)
  • Related bill: A 7045 (prior-session)

Purpose and intent

A 7233 seeks to expand MWBE participation in state contracting by establishing a numerical target specifically for property management services. The underlying goal is to promote opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses in the procurement process of state agencies.

What the bill would do

  • Set a participation target: Require that at least 30% of state agency property management contracts be awarded to MWBEs.
  • Scope: Applies to contracts for property management services undertaken by state agencies. (The bill text would define the precise scope of “state agency property management contracts.”)

Note: The summary reflects the bill’s stated objective. The detailed definitions, eligible MWBE criteria, and exact mechanics (e.g., how the 30% target is calculated, whether it applies to total contract value, duration of contracts, exemptions, or waivers) would be specified in the full text of the bill.

Who would be affected

  • State agencies that procure property management services (e.g., custodial, leasing management, facilities management, maintenance) would need to ensure MWBE participation meets the 30% target.
  • MWBEs seeking property management work would potentially benefit from expanded contracting opportunities.
  • Non-MWBEs could experience changes in procurement processes or competition for these contracts.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Action taken: The bill was introduced and immediately referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations (March 21, 2025).
  • Current stage: Referred; no further actions listed in the provided information.
  • Next steps: If the committee advances the bill, it would proceed through committee consideration, potential amendments, and, if approved, floor consideration in the Assembly, and then potentially moving to the Senate.

Additional context

  • Related legislation: A 7045 from a prior session may address similar MWBE procurement goals and can be considered in parallel or as a basis for negotiation or amendment in committee.
  • Data and administration: The bill would likely necessitate reporting, monitoring, and recordkeeping to verify MWBE utilization on property management contracts, though specific requirements would be defined in the enacted text.

This summary provides the essential purpose, scope, and potential impact of A 7233 based on the available bill information. For precise definitions, compliance mechanisms, and any fiscal implications, the full text and committee memos should be reviewed when they become available.
