An Act To Reduce the Cost of Delivering Certain State Services

CONCEPT DRAFT SUMMARY

This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.

This bill proposes to have the State enter into pilot projects with one or more counties to demonstrate whether contracting with the counties would provide a savings to the taxpayers of the State. The services that could be the subject of such pilot projects include but are not limited to:

1. Rural law enforcement;

2. Regional human services delivery; and

3. Highway maintenance.

The pilot projects would rely on performance-based contracts between the State and one or more counties.
