                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC PROCUREMENT CODE.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  Chapter 103D, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is
 
 2 amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated
 
 3 and to read as follows:
 
 4      "§103D-     Managed process for procurement of private
 
 5 enterprise.  The policy office, in consultation with the
 
 6 department of budget and finance, shall adopt rules to implement
 
 7 any public-private competition for government services through
 
 8 the managed process that determines whether a particular service
 
 9 can be provided more efficiently, effectively, and economically
 
10 by a public agency or a private enterprise.  The managed process
 
11 shall consider all relevant costs, identify the types of
 
12 contracts which may be exempt from the managed process, establish
 
13 protections for the affected state and county employees, and
 
14 ensure that civil service laws, merit principles, and collective
 
15 bargaining laws are not violated.  The managed process shall
 
16 require any analysis to use uniform accounting standards in
 
17 determining whether a service can be provided more efficiently,
 
18 effectively, and economically by either a public agency or a
 
19 private enterprise.

18           or in part, to the extent of such exemption."
