Bill > HB06096

This bill requires the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) to conduct a comprehensive review of state contracts with nonprofit human services providers every five years, starting by January 1, 2026. During these reviews, the Secretary must examine at least two purchase of service contracts or personal service agreements to assess whether the current rates adequately compensate these providers. After completing the review, the Secretary must report the findings to specific legislative committees responsible for appropriations, government administration, and human services. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state provide annual cost-of-living adjustments to the rates paid to these nonprofit providers. The overall purpose of the legislation is to ensure that nonprofit organizations providing critical human services to the state receive fair and sufficient compensation that keeps pace with economic changes, recognizing the important role these providers play in delivering essential community services.
