HB 3160-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Declares that it is essential that the legislature and state agencies spend tax dollars in a manner that is both responsible and consistent with the economic interests of the state and the nation. The legislature and state agencies should, therefore, consider indirect benefits that may be achieved when entering into contracts for public works, personal services, purchased services, information services, and highway design and construction. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, job creation, capital investment, and economic stimulus.
