Sandoval-Minority OwnersIllinois State Senator Martin Sandoval (D-Chicago) sponsored a new law that will aid businesses owned by minorities, women and people with disabilities.

“I sponsored this measure to ensure that with the expansion of gambling in Illinois, some of those contracts would be awarded to minority business owners,” stated Sandoval.  “This new law will also require these industries to report their hiring efforts back to the Gaming and Racing Board.”

The goal of this new law is to ensure that some licensee contracts are awarded to businesses owned by minorities, women and people with disabilities. Progress towards these goals will be reported as percentages of the total dollar amount of contracts awarded per calendar year.

This new law will work in conjunction with the the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act.
