Sheinman<\/h3>\n<p>On April 7, 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/P2RH-BEK4\">voted<\/a> 5\u20130 to approve <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/W4JQ-2CL7\">D.22-04-035<\/a>. This decision, proposed by Commissioner Rechtschaffen, revised the Commission\u2019s Supplier Diversity Program, set forth in General Order (GO) 156, to incorporate a voluntary procurement goal for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) business enterprises.\u00a0 The decision also expands the Supplier Diversity Program to include a \u201cPersons with Disabilities Business Enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This decision was issued pursuant to an Order Instituting Rulemaking <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/B9M9-VM8B\">R.21-03-010<\/a>, opened in March 2021, for the purpose of considering revisions to the Commission\u2019s Supplier Diversity Program\u2014the Commission\u2019s mechanism for implementing state policy encouraging award of utility procurement contracts to women and minority-owned business.\u00a0 In June 2015, the Commission approved <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/F2P7-DK4D\">D.15-06-007<\/a>, in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB1678\">AB 1678 (Gordon) (Chapter 633, Statutes of 2014)<\/a>, which extended the provisions of the utilities\u2019 Supplier Diversity Program to LGBT business enterprises. That decision modified GO 156 to include LGBT business enterprises in the Supplier Diversity Program but did not include a voluntary procurement goal.\u00a0 Instead, the commission adopted a five-year framework, during which time the Commission was to gather data to support the eventual establishment of a meaningful target goal for LGBT business enterprise.\u00a0 This decision now adopts such a goal.<\/p>\n<p>For 2022, the Commission adopted a 0.5% voluntary procurement goal for LGBT business enterprises.\u00a0 The goal increases by 0.5% each year, culminating in a 1.5% goal in 2024.\u00a0 As a point of comparison, the goal for women&#8217;s business enterprises is 5% and the goal for minority business enterprises is 15%. The decision recognizes opposition received and cites a letter from the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus which expressed concern that \u201c[s]etting the procurement goal for LGBTQ business so far below other participants sends a message that the CPUC does not value our community.\u201d In arriving at its goals, the Commission recognized in its decision that \u201c[h]istorical data reflects past barriers to full participation in the utility industry and may also reflect too little effort by some utilities to increase opportunities to contract with LGBT business enterprises.\u201d The Commission suggests that the LGBT business enterprise goals in this decision successfully balance a reliance on historical data with an objective to increase procurement from LGBT business enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to Persons with Disabilities business enterprises, the Commission did not adopt a voluntary procurement goal with this decision.\u00a0 Instead, the decision allows for the collection of additional data, with an expectation that voluntary procurement goals for Persons with Disabilities business enterprises will be added in approximately three years.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/W4JQ-2CL7\">D.22-04-035<\/a> became effective on April 7, 2022. R.21-03-010 remains open as of the time of this publication.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPILUSD\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cpilusd\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Benjamin L.
