Bill summary

House amendments make the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Amendment #1 enacts new GS 143-50.3 to require the Department of Administration (Department) to establish a schedule for each State agency to review the business case justification for each agency service to verify that the current provider is the most cost-effective provider. Requires each agency to document the results of its review on the business case justification template. Requires that the schedule provide for the review of agency services no less than every five years, but gives the Department authority to change the schedule and extend the time for review when appropriate. 

Amendment #2 amends Section 2(a) of the act to require the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) to develop and submit a plan to determine whether services provided by State agencies could be more effectively and appropriately (was, effectively) provided by private providers. Amends the requirements of the plan to also require that if OSBM determines that a service is not appropriate for performance by a private provider, then the plan must describe the basis for that determination.
