SB 23, a bill that CEA and our industry partners were successful in stopping last legisla-tive session, was reintroduced earlier this year. If enacted, the bill would expand political subdivision joint purchasing authority to expressly include purchases for construction services. SB 23 also bypasses the competitive processes and protections of standard construction law. Finally, the legislation would negatively impact advertising, bonding, subcontractor protections while making the award of construction contracts less trans-parent.

Dominic Ozanne, president and CEO of Ozanne Construction Co., doesn’t mince words when relaying the origins of his Black-owned family business.
