Introduced by: W. Henry Maxwell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Department of General Services; Public Procurement Act; preference for businesses that hire ex-felons. Prohibits discrimination by state agencies against a bidder or offeror because the bidder or offeror employs ex-offenders unless the state agency, department or institution has made a written determination that employing ex-offenders on the specific contract is not in its best interest. The bill also exempts the Department of Corrections from the Public Procurement Act when in its selection of pre-release and post-incarceration services.
