Minnesota
The Agriculture and Veteran Affairs Omnibus Bill
Gov. Tim Pawlenty signed the Agriculture and Veteran Affairs Omnibus Bill May 16. The state of Minnesota implemented a Veteran Preference Program on July 1 in accordance with Laws of Minnesota, 2009, Chapter 101, Article 2, Section 56. The law includes provisions that assist two classes of veteran-owned businesses that compete for low-bid contracts in the state – those owned by service-disabled veterans and vets who left the military after Sept. 11, 2001. The law provides a 6 percent preference for the first $500,000 on bids for state contracts.
Texas
Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses who are Texas residents shall be given a first preference and goods produced in this state or offered by other Texas bidders shall be given second preference, if the cost to the state and quality are equal.
