What this bill does
This bill lets the state board overseeing purchases from persons with disabilities hire a contractor to help it, while ending its option to form an association for that. It also says awarding a contract to a vendor does not itself create one, bars certain terms from state purchase contracts with exceptions, and limits state liability for certain damages.
