IN RE:
HB1994 by Reynolds (Relating to the purchase of certain commodity items by a state agency.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would exempt a state agency from purchasing an information technology (IT) commodity item through a contract developed by the Department of Information Resources (DIR), if the item is not available for purchase under an existing contract developed by DIR. The bill would authorize a state agency to purchase an IT commodity item through a contract developed by a local government purchasing cooperative if that item is not available under a contract developed by DIR. The Comptroller of Public Accounts and DIR indicate that costs associated with implementation of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
