The sponsor's argument

Why Jamaal Bailey says this is needed

To achieve the proposed MWBE goals previously outlined by Governor Hochul, it is critical that each agency produces a publicly known plan of action on how it will achieve MWBE funding and procurement. Such a plan should include recommendations for outreach, funding support, training and development, joint venture collaboration, and calendars. The plan needs to be submitted and approved by the appropriate legisla- tive committees impacted by said agency to ensure that it is a viable plan of action to achieve MWEE participation and success.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
