Introduced
by
To require before entering any contract with a private company the state to consider whether the work will be performed or goods produced outside the country and if this is in the best interests of the state and its people; whether the firm, its managers and owners (with at least a 20 percent share) have been guilty of a criminal offense incident to a state contract; been held liable in a criminal or civil proceeding for embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or violation of state or federal antitrust statutes. The company would have to affirm whether it is incorporated in a "tax haven country" and whether it is to the violation of "internationally recognized workers rights".

Reported without amendment
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises details but does not change the substance as previously described.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to House Bills 4335 and 4969, meaning this bill cannot become law unless those ones do also. Those bills would require personnel agencies to verify the citizenship status of all job applicants with the federal “E-verification” real-time program, and repeal the “gun free zone” provision of the concealed pistol permit law.
The amendment failed by voice vote
