Texas HUB Program Paused, Women & Minorities Reinstated

A Travis County judge temporarily reinstate Texass HUB program, allowing women- and minority-owned businesses to qualify for state contracts again. The move comes after a lawsuit challenging the states emergency rules that limited eligibility to service-disabled veterans only. The HUB program, established in the nineties, has awarded over four billion dollars in contracts. Business owners claim they lost out on deals due to the reduced participant pool. The Comptroller advocates for a race- and gender-neutral field, but critics argue only lawmakers can rewrite the rules. The trial is set for November ninth.
