     7  services  performed  or  to  be  performed, for goods sold or to be sold
     8  pursuant to which any contractor, to whom any  contract  shall  be  let,
     9  granted  or  awarded,  agrees,  as a material condition of the contract,

    13  cover supplemental breast cancer screenings.
    14    2.  Any  such contract shall be rendered forfeit and void by the state
