AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Department of Central Purchasing, which will assume the duties and responsibilities previously handled by the Central Purchasing Division of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES). The Director of the new Department, appointed by the Governor, will oversee its operations, including adopting and enforcing existing rules and creating new ones. The bill ensures that employees transferred to the new department will retain their current salary, leave, and benefits, and that the Office of Management and Enterprise Services will cover any expenses related to this transfer. Upon completion of the personnel and duties transfer, the Central Purchasing Division within OMES will be abolished. The bill also makes numerous amendments to existing statutes to reflect the creation of the Department of Central Purchasing and to replace references to the former Central Purchasing Division and its director.
