California\u2019s regulators reportedly try to prioritize LGBT-owned utility contractors.<\/p>\n

Businesses can get certified as LGBT-owned by LGBT organizations to receive \u201csupplier-diversity benefits\u201d from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), City Journal reported Tuesday. Would you meet the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)\u2019s qualifiers?

Neither the CPUC nor the NGLCC responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The NGLCC\u2019s include, but aren\u2019t limited to, affidavit-backed letters from three people outside the business attesting to the LGBT status of the applicant(s), a letter from a physician or therapist confirming their transgender status, or evidence of \u201cdiscriminatory action\u201d over their LGBT status. Discriminatory action could include an HR report, police report, or court records.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Applicants can also be qualified by presenting evidence of \u201ccompleted or attempted parenting and family-building efforts\u201d made by themselves and a same-sex partner. This could include adoption records, proof of an in-vitro fertilization procedure, or surrogate mother arrangements.<\/p>\n

The CPUC regulates privately owned utility businesses. Its \u201cSupplier Diversity Program\u201d began in the late 1980s to set contracting goals promoting minority-owned and women-owned businesses, but gradually grew to include LGBT-owned businesses too, according to City Journal. Supplier Clearinghouse, which certifies businesses for the program, letters from organizations like the NGLCC to certify if a business is LGBT-owned.<\/p>\n

The Supplier Diversity Program aimed to send approximately $633 million to LBGT-owned businesses in 2024, the CPUC last October. 451 businesses in the program were LGBT-certified that year, which is a 5% drop from the previous year.<\/p>\n
