What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Administration (DOA) or any state

agency to which DOA delegates purchasing authority may contract for services if the

services can be performed more efficiently or economically by contract than by state

employees. If a state agency enters into or renews a contract for services that

involves an estimated expenditure of more than $25,000, the agency must conduct

either a uniform cost-benefit analysis, for a new contract, or a continued

appropriateness review, for a contract renewal. Under this bill, each contracting

agency must perform periodic audits on its cost-benefit analyses and continued

appropriateness reviews and on its subsequent contracts.
