The Center for Public Policy Priorities supports Senate Bill (SB) 68, which would establish sensible contracting standards to ensure that state agencies make informed decisions when outsourcing state services or assets. We want to thank Senator Zaffirini for her hard work in developing this comprehensive approach to strengthening state contracting practices. SB 68 establishes the same standards for business analysis and planning that you would use in your own company to get the most out of outsourcing. We urge you to pass this legislation today.
