IN RE:
HB2337 by Harper-Brown (Relating to a vendor performance tracking system for state contracts.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require a state agency to review a vendor’s performance after a contract is completed or otherwise terminated and to report the results to the Comptroller of Public Accounts (Comptroller) using the Comptroller’s vendor performance tracking system. The Comptroller would be required to evaluate a vendor’s performance and establish an evaluation process for vendors to protest any classification given by the Comptroller. The bill would require the Comptroller to include the performance reviews in the vendor performance tracking system and would require a state agency to use information included in the system to determine whether to award a contract to a vendor. The bill would require the Comptroller to make the vendor performance tracking system accessible to the public on the Comptroller’s website. The Comptroller, Facilities Commission, Department of Information Resources, and Health and Human Services Commission indicate that any additional cost to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. The Parks and Wildlife Commission estimates there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill. It is anticipated that the additional costs could be absorbed within current resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
