Explanation
This amendment strikes section 2 and section 52 which removes the
requirement for the State Contracting Standards Board (SCSB) under the
Office of Governmental Accountability (OGA) to hire five employees
and eliminates the appropriation of $467,055 for the SCSB.
The amendment also modifies the language in section 4 which allows,
instead of requires, the SCSB to employ necessary employees. This
results in a potential annual cost of up to $454,355 to the OGA for
salaries in FY 23 and FY 24.
The amendment also removes quasi-public agencies from
privatization law and makes various technical and conforming changes 2022SB-00473-R00LCO05479-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
which result in no fiscal impact to the state.
