Prohibits any governmental entity from outsourcing any function which can be performed by such entity
This bill prohibits state and local government entities - including agencies, courts, universities, municipalities, and public authorities - from contracting out any function they could perform themselves, unless explicitly allowed by law. It defines "outsourcing" as hiring outside entities to handle work a government body could do internally. Existing outsourced contracts without prior legal approval must be terminated by January 1 after the law takes effect, requiring the return or destruction of all materials shared with contractors. The law applies broadly to all government functions, with no exceptions beyond specific legislative authorization.
