Description

Correctional enterprises; exemption from mandatory purchase provisions.  Provides that the Director of the Department of General Services and not the Director of the Division of Purchases and Supply has the authority to grant exemptions from mandatory procurement of articles produced or manufactured by persons confined in state correctional facilities. The bill authorizes the Director to grant such an exemption if a substantially equivalent article can be obtained at a lesser cost from the private sector. The bill requires that on or before October 1, 2014, the Director of the Department of General Services and the Director of the Department of Corrections shall report to the Governor and the General Assembly on the impact of the implementation of the provisions of the bill, including any cost savings to the Commonwealth and efficiencies realized. The Departments may include in the report recommendations for improvement in the process. Read the Bill »
