Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation requires all service contracts with counties to include specific performance and cost parameters, as well as provisions allowing the county to terminate the contract if the parameters are not met, if the annual cost exceeds the amount established in the contract, or if the contractor fails to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Contractors will be required to provide quarterly reports about their compliance with the criteria, as well as the county's costs pursuant to the contract. Counties can already adopt these provisions in their service contracts and state requirements are not needed. |
