Amend CSHB 2292 as follows:
On page 161, Line 27 add subsection (b) to read as follows:
b) It is the intent of the legislature that, whenever
possible, and to the maximum extent feasible, the existing network
of transportation providers, and in particular the fixed route
components of the existing networks, be used to meet the client
transportation requirements of the state's social service agencies
and their agents. The legislature recognizes the contributions of
nonprofit entities dedicated to providing social services and
related activities and encourages the continued community
involvement of these entities in this area. The legislature
likewise recognizes the potential cost savings and other benefits
for utilizing existing private sector transportation resources.
The department will contract with and promote the use of private
sector transportation resources to the maximum extent feasible
consistent with the goals of this subsection.
