That legislation is not about general labor law, it is about the state's internal hiring practices. If you run a privately owned corner store, you can hire whoever you want within reason. In this case, the state chose to force the state to hire certain people for purely political reasons, and this senator is trying to end that employers discriminatory hiring practices.
Really, the state could say tomorrow it's only hiring white Anglo-Saxon protestant males and it's unlikely labor law per se could stop them since it's the state.
