    A state report in Maryland found evidence that discrimination continues to negatively impact minority- and women-owned businesses across the state economy. The report concluded this provides justification for policies to support minority- and women-owned companies in the medical marijuana industry. The report was commissioned by the governor and conducted by an economist. It cited a previous state study that found contracting disparities in Maryland's private sector may be even greater than in public sector contracting, where the state has affirmative action programs.

    report supports help for

    ANNAPOLIS (AP) — Data on discrimination in Maryland's overall economy


    provides "a strong basis in evidence" to support helping businesses owned by
    women and minorities in the types of industries relevant to the state's fledgling
    medical marijuana industry, a state report released Wednesday said.

    The report, released by Gov. Larry Hogan's administration, was conducted by Jon
    Wainwright, an economist and managing director of NERA Economic Consulting.
    Wainwright noted a state disparity study from last year that found discrimination
    continues to adversely affect minority- and women-owned firms throughout
    Maryland.

    The report noted that last year's study found evidence to suggest that economy-
    wide state contracting disparities in Maryland's relevant markets are "even
    greater than disparities in the public sector."

    The report said the difference may be because the state has operated an
    assertive minority business enterprise program to remedy discrimination — a
    program that would tend to reduce, but not yet eliminate, the effects of
    discrimination in public procurement.
