Draft safeguards added to IGA to require member review for contract changes and limit liability on withdrawal
Summary
Members highlighted sections 6.02 and 6.03 that trigger a 30–60 day member review when a contract modification would extend term, and tighten termination rules so remaining agencies are not on the hook for costs when one member leaves.
A committee member called attention to sections 6.02 and 6.03 of the IGA, emphasizing safeguards to engage member agencies when a vendor restatement or contract modification would extend a contract term. The member said the change "triggers an automatic review where member agencies have 30 to 60 days to submit comments," which would allow stakeholders to object before a contract amendment takes effect.
Section 6.03 tightens termination provisions so remaining member agencies are not financially liable when an agency leaves the consortium. Members described these edits as important protections after past restatements extended terms without broad engagement; staff said they will keep the review window in the draft and make related clarifications.
