Continuing the work of the Chamber!

Our Chairman Darrel Sauceda and Julian Canete, President and CEO of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, testified at our State Capital in support of California AB 1392 - Diversity in Hospital Supplier Procurement. This legislation would require large hospitals to submit a plan to the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) to increase procurement for minority women, LGBTQ and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises  (MWDVLGBTBE). 

In addition, hospitals would also need to publicize available, verifiable and detailed plans and goals for access to procurement contracts and have a pathway for minority businesses to partner with hospitals.
