Bill > SF2625

This bill establishes a "Do Not Pay" database managed by the state commissioner of finance, with assistance from the commissioner of information technology services, that will maintain a list of individuals and businesses ineligible to receive state contracts or payments. The database will include people who have died, been convicted of or are suspected of committing fraud against the state, or owe money to the state. All state agencies are required to contribute names and relevant data to the database when they identify such individuals or businesses. Additionally, before entering into any contract or making any payment, state agencies must first check the database to confirm that the vendor or payment recipient is eligible. This system is designed to prevent state funds from being paid to individuals or businesses that have outstanding issues with the state government, thereby protecting taxpayer resources and ensuring fiscal accountability.
