  1. Review Statute for changes

Discussion of name change for the Commission suggested name, Commission for Statewide Contracts to Support Employment for Persons with Disabilities, with the acronym CSCSEPD. This name reflects what the Commission is about, but the name State Use Law is familiar and can also be used as a nickname as referenced in Chapter 96. The Bill will be retitled to reflect the new name, CSCSEPD, which the Commission has agreed upon. Mary Page Bailey will make reference a footnote will be created that the Commission’s nickname is State Use Law.

Page 4, Line 4, change to the number by taking it out and putting majority of members present instead. This will allow the Commission to conduct business with the majority of member instead of a set number. Verity Watson, Leg Hall, stated she would send the correct wording for majority instead of a specific number for Members, and agreed that there are other Commission who have opted to have majority rule wording as well.

Page 3, Line 28; the name will be changed in the statute to Commission.

Page 5, Line 1 – 6; can be deleted with a change to Line 7 as the new subsections to follow d – e.

Page 5, Line 22 and 24; change State Use Law to Commission. This change will be reflected throughout the statute.

Page 6, Line 13, “shall” will be put back in instead of “may” and Line 17, add employment practices.

Page 7, Lines 9 – 13 will be moved to the regulations instead of the statute.Lines 15 – 17, Mary Page Bailey will reword for simplicity and clearer understanding for the public. Line 19, plural taken off of product and service.

Page 8, Lines 4 – 22, will be deleted. This section is referring to DVI Food Services in public office buildings.
