A court ruling has sparked a request for reconsideration from the City of Houston. The city's minority-owned business program was struck down by U.S. Judge David Hittner. This decision came after a white couple sued the city in 2023 over the program's initiative related to government contracts.
The program had been in place for some time before the lawsuit was filed. Judge Hittner's ruling was made last month, prompting the city to ask the court to reconsider its decision.
Further details about the case and the city's request are available from the source. The city's initiative was aimed at supporting minority-owned businesses in relation to government contracts, but the court ruling has put its future in question.
