    6         (j) Meet the minority business enterprise procurement goals
    7  set forth in s. 287.042, in the procurement of commodities,
    8  contractual services, and other services and in the selection of
    9  vendors in the administration of activities under this section.
   10  The procurement goals must also be applied to veteran business
   11  enterprises. The goal for participation of minority business
   12  enterprises, as that term is defined in s. 288.703(3), and of
   13  veteran business enterprises, as defined in s. 295.187(3), in
   14  MMTC operations and subcontracting is 10 percent; however, no
   15  more than 35 percent of such business enterprises may be owned
   16  by any one of the minority persons specified in s. 288.703 or by
   17  a veteran business enterprise, respectively.
   18         1. This paragraph does not preclude a minority person or
   19  veteran business enterprise from competing for any MMTC
   20  registration or any other procurement of goods or services
   21  awarded by the department.
   22         2. MMTCs have 12 months after the date of their
   23  registration to demonstrate to the department compliance with
   24  the minority business enterprise participation goal established
   25  in this paragraph.
   26         (k) Implement training programs and other educational
   27  programs to enable minority persons and veteran business
   28  enterprises to effectively compete for MMTC registration and
   29  contracts.

   34  insert:
   35         requiring the department to meet specified minority
   36         business enterprise and veteran business enterprise
   37         participation goals; providing construction; requiring
   38         medical marijuana treatment centers to demonstrate to
   39         the department their compliance with such goals;
   40         requiring the department to implement training
   41         programs and other educational programs for minority
   42         persons and veteran business enterprises to enable
   43         them to effectively compete for medical marijuana
   44         treatment center registration and contracts;
