                  House Economic and Workforce Development Committee
                     Substitute Senate Bill 105 – Proponent Testimony
                           Rachel Massoud Reedy, Policy Analyst

                                      October 27, 2021

Chair Edwards, Vice Chair Powell, Ranking Member Upchurch, and members of the House
Economic and Workforce Development Committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide
written proponent testimony on Substitute Senate Bill 105, which would create Minority
Business Enterprise (MBE) reciprocity.

Many counties across Ohio operate MBE programs that are similar to the state’s program.
These programs are designed to assist minority businesses in applying for and obtaining
government contracts. Currently, a business must obtain certification for these programs at
both the state and local levels if they wish to apply for contracts in multiple jurisdictions.

Senate Bill 105 simplifies the process for MBEs and local governments alike by creating a
reciprocity of the state certification. The bill requires that a local government accept state
MBE certificates as proof that the individual meets the ownership and control requirements
outlined in the Ohio Revised Code. Local governments can still maintain additional
requirements, such as proof of residency.

The process outlined in Senate Bill 105 will save counties administrative time in operating
their MBE programs. CCAO thanks Senator Sykes and Senator Schuring for introducing this
legislation and respectfully asks the committee to favorably report Senate Bill 105.
