    On page 9, after line 22, insert the following: 

“(h) No contract entered into by the department and a consumer directed employer may have a duration exceeding four years. The department may not renew a contract with a consumer directed employer unless it has evaluated whether other potential vendors might better satisfy the criteria in subsection (2) of this section.”

EFFECT:  Limits the contract duration for consumer directed employers to four years and directs the department of social and health services to examine whether other more qualified vendors exist before renewing the contract of a consumer directed employer.
