The Board of County Commissioners for Pasco County is reviewing requirements for contractors working on federally funded programs. This review involves ensuring contractors collect racial and ethnic data on individuals impacted by agency programs. It also requires contractors to comply with nondiscrimination regulations from the U.S. Department of Transportation regarding race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, or family status in their hiring and procurement practices. Contractors must notify potential subcontractors and suppliers of these obligations. The review is currently in progress, meaning plans and specific projects are not yet defined. This process will set standards for future work, impacting businesses involved in federally assisted programs. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review to understand upcoming compliance requirements for potential future contracts.
