SB 1212 Procurement; faith-based organizations.
Introduced by: Emmett W. Hanger, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Procurement; faith-based organizations. Applies federal language regarding "charitable choice," enacted by Congress in the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (welfare reform), to state procurement practices. The language would make faith-based organizations equal partners in opportunities to bid on and supply services and products to the state government without impairing their religious nature. Faith-based organizations would no longer have to separate their religious nature and symbols from their programs in order to provide services on state contract, but would have to be subject to the same audits as other vendors. Faith-based organizations would not be able to use the money for sectarian worship, instruction or proselytization, would not be able to discriminate against clients for their religious beliefs or refusal to participate in a religious activity, and would have to provide the client with a notice that, if they object to the religious nature of the program providing them services, they can be assigned to another provider.
