Creates new provisions for contracting and purchasing by the department of social services and the department of elementary and secondary education

HB 140 allows the Department of Social Services and Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to directly purchase specific human services from vendors without standard state bidding procedures. This includes services like mental health treatment, disability support, and substance abuse care for affected individuals. The bill sets fee limits for entities distributing these funds (5% under $1 million, 3% over $1 million) and requires the commissioner of administration to create rules ensuring compliance with state purchasing standards. It aims to streamline access to timely services while adding financial accountability for contracted providers.
