About this file
This document is Exhibit P, the New Jersey Anti-Discrimination Provision (NJ Rev Stat § 10:2-1), which applies to state, county, municipal, and public agency contracts for construction, alteration, repair, or procurement of materials, equipment, supplies, and services. The provision mandates that all contractors and subcontractors agree to non-discriminatory hiring and employment practices, ensuring equal opportunity for qualified individuals regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, gender identity, sexual orientation, or sex.
The exhibit outlines specific consequences for discriminatory practices, including potential financial penalties of $50 per person per calendar day of discrimination, and the possibility of contract cancellation or termination. Additionally, the provision includes a clause that allows boards of education to designate contracts to small business enterprises, minority business enterprises, or women's business enterprises, promoting diversity and inclusion in public contracting. The document was amended multiple times between 1945 and 2006, reflecting evolving anti-discrimination standards and protections.
