The sponsor's argument

Why Kevin S. Parker says this is needed

The State has committed to a 301 utilization goal for minority- and women-owned businesses for all state agencies. Including public authori- ties will expand opportunities for small businesses and MWBEs as well as opportunities for the State to expand its stated commitment.

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.
