AI Summary

This bill aims to promote employment for people with disabilities. It establishes the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Council for Purchasing from Persons with Disabilities, which will be responsible for determining suitable services, verifying fair market prices, certifying eligible community rehabilitation programs and individuals, and approving a central nonprofit agency to facilitate the distribution of orders. The bill also requires state agencies and local public bodies to procure services from the approved list, exempting them from the Procurement Code. Additionally, it allows the state to enter into contracts for supplies manufactured and services performed by people with disabilities without the requirement for competitive bidding, while requiring annual reviews to ensure compliance.
