What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, state executive branch agencies may contract for services that can

be performed more economically or efficiently by contract than by state employees.

With numerous exceptions, any services must be obtained from the lowest

responsible bidder or the person submitting the most advantageous competitive

sealed proposal. Services may be obtained from domestic or foreign sources.

With certain exceptions, this bill requires all contractual services purchased by

state executive branch agencies to be performed within the United States. This

requirement does not apply if the contractual services cannot be obtained within the

United States or are paid for with federal moneys or if the contractual services are

purchased by the University of Wisconsin System from gifts, grants, or endowment

trust fund income.
