2003 House Bill 4720 ↩

Senate Roll Call 58: Passed

To establish a cooperative bulk purchasing program between schools and the Department of Management and Budget. The bill also allows private schools to participate in the bulk purchasing program. Note: The state Constitution prohibits state aid to private or religious schools, but the sponsors of the provision allowing non-public school participation contend that since participating schools must pay a fee to the state to participate, this does not constitute state aid.
