Bill > S98

This bill aims to ensure accountability within the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) by amending existing state law, specifically Chapter 18, Section 2, Subsection (B) of the General Laws. The key provision is the addition of a new clause that prohibits the DTA from delegating certain core functions, such as administering programs, determining who is eligible for benefits, or overseeing the state's plan for providing assistance, to entities or individuals outside of its own employees. This means that tasks currently handled by DTA staff must continue to be handled by them, preventing outsourcing of these critical responsibilities.
