In response to a previous version of the proposal, officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) assumed the proposal would require their organization to hire a purchasing consultant and an administrative assistant to assist management in defining commercial activities and developing the required commercial activity listing, developing a competitive sourcing process, collecting and analyzing cost data, and preparing required reports.

Annual expenditures for salaries, benefits, and expenses would be approximately $133,000.

DESCRIPTION



This proposal would establish a process for defining government services which could be designated as commercial activities and performed by private businesses. The proposal would require state agencies to develop cost estimates for government performance of those services, and would require each agency to develop an open and competitive process for selecting state or external organizations to provide those services. An interested party as defined in the proposal could challenge an agency's decision to exclude any government service from the list of commercial activities.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
