Staff Analysis of the Legislation

|
This legislation would require the county to consider an employment impact statement whenever any purchase is made through competitive bid. The economic impact statement that all vendors and contractors would be required to provide includes: (1) the number of jobs expected to be created or retained in Georgia if the bid is awarded to the contractor; (2) the number of jobs expected to be created or retained by the use of subcontractors if the vendor or contractor is awarded the bid; and (3) a guarantee from the contractor or vendor that the jobs created or retained in Georgia would not be moved out of state during the duration of the contract. |
