Bill > H0364

This bill proposes to amend the requirements for the Executive Branch to enter into privatization contracts, which are contracts for services valued at $25,000 or more per year that replace services previously provided by State employees. The key provisions include: requiring a 35-day review period and written statement of services before bidding, increasing the required cost savings from 10% to 20%, mandating minimum wages and health/dental/vision benefits for contractor employees, establishing a review panel to ensure compliance, and authorizing the Auditor to investigate cost savings after the first 12 months and prevent contract renewal if the savings are not achieved.
