Bill > S02367

This bill makes permanent a provision from Chapter 565 of the 2022 laws relating to preferred source status for certain employment-focused entities. Specifically, the bill removes language that would have caused the original law to expire three years after its effective date, effectively making the provisions permanent. The original law appears to relate to giving preferential treatment in government contracting to entities that provide employment to certain persons (likely referring to entities that employ people with disabilities or other priority employment groups). The bill ensures that the preferred source status will continue indefinitely, rather than sunsetting after three years. The bill will take effect immediately and will not impact any contracts or proposal requests that were already issued by government entities prior to its enactment.
