The bill would implement recommendation CG6 from the Comptroller's report
Challenging the Status Quo:  Toward Smaller, Smarter Government.  The
savings from this bill would depend on the number of agencies that
purchased equipment maintenance insurance and related services and the
amount the state currently spends on service warranty contracts.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
