Update on Implementation of SB 115
DVBE Incentive
The passage of Senate Bill 115, effective January 1, 2006, provides for an incentive for disabled veteran business enterprises per Military & Veterans Code Section 999.5(a). A committee consisting of representatives from the State of California and the supplier community met to discuss the incentive and reviewed a proposed approach. A phased implementation is in progress.

- The incentive is effective June 1, 2006, for those departments that Procurement Division has delegated purchasing authority.
- Following adoption of regulations, the incentive will be implemented statewide for all other applicable acquisitions (e.g., public works projects).
- DGS proposes DVBE Incentive regulations. The public comment period ends June 1, 2007 at 5:00 pm. The public hearing is June 1, 2007 starting at 10:00 am. Go to DVBE Incentive Regulations to view rulemaking file.
