summary
The bill contained a provision requiring apparel, footwear and textile suppliers to pay a 1% vendor's fee. This amendment amends that provision to allow the State Purchasing Agent to charge a 1% vendor’s fee to reflect the fact that the consortium to monitor and investigate alleged violations of the state purchasing code of conduct is not yet operational. Rules to be adopted by the State Purchasing Agent with respect to the fee are changed from major substantive to routine technical. The amendment also requires the Director of the Bureau of General Services to submit an annual report on the revenue generated by the vendor’s fee to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over state and local government matters. This amendment adds an appropriations and allocations section to the bill.
