Bill Caption

Relating to nonemergency medical transportation, shipping logistics, and coordination services for state agencies.

Fiscal Notes

The bill would potentially have an indeterminate cost to the state as a result of provisions of the bill which would require state agencies to arrange all transportation or shipment of goods, parcels, and freight through a statewide vendor for nonemergency medical transportation, shipping logistics, and coordination services. The provision of the bill requiring an evaluation of nonemergency medical transportation, shipping logistics, and coordination services would result in a cost of $450,000 for the 2018-19 biennium from the General Revenue Fund.

Bill Analysis

HB 1870 would require the comptroller to contract with a vendor for nonemergency medical transportation, shipping logistics, and coordination services for state agencies. The bill would stipulate that contracting opportunities must be provided for veterans or persons with disabilities. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

The administration of state contracting processes is within the legislature's purview. This bill does not affect our liberty principles and we remain neutral.
