Every contract to which the state or any of its
political or civil subdivisions is a party, including franchises granted to
public utilities, shall contain a provision requiring the contractor and
his subcontractors not to discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment to be employed in the performance of such
contract, with respect to his hire, tenure, terms, conditions or privileges
of employment or any matter directly or indirectly related to
employment, because of his race, religion, color, sex, disability,
national origin, or ancestry. Breach of this covenant may be regarded
as a material breach of the contract.
