HOUSE BILL NO. 696
AN ACT TO PROVIDE A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO MAINTAIN AN ADEQUATE SERVICE LEVEL.
WHEREAS, the importance of the promotion in Delaware of minority business enterprise is recognized as necessary to the well being of the citizens of the State; and
WHEREAS, the loss to the Office of Minority Business Enterprise of most of their federal funds has placed this budget unit in an insolvent position for the remainder of Fiscal Year 1980; and
WHEREAS, the loss of technical and procurement services seriously impairs the development and growth of minority business; and
WHEREAS, the creation of new jobs, community revitalization and the economic well being of Delaware citizens directly results from small and minority business growth;
NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:
