HB 2144 - DIGEST

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 best 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, including personal services, purchased services, and civil service contracts. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, job creation, capital investment, and economic stimulus. Additionally, such benefits include greater protection of privacy interests, less risk of disclosure of personal information, and avoidance of undue risk.
