Conferees press to narrow staffing requests in procurement bill
Summary
Discussion of SB 2601 focused on certification-of-funds thresholds and a procurement office request for three positions; conferees said the request could be pruned and asked procurement to work on a written CD1 with position details.
On April 27 conferees discussed Senate Bill 2601, a procurement-related measure that would address certification of available funds at a stated threshold and provide support for the chief procurement officer. Committee members said they had received a request from the procurement office for three positions but questioned whether all three were necessary.
"We've received the request for support from the procurement office. However we feel that it should be narrowed down," a Senate conferee said, and urged staff to work with procurement to produce a CD1 proposing fewer positions. The transcript records conferees urging that the roles be pruned "like any good gardener," and asking for a written CD1 that documents the positions and the procurement office's support.
Conferees agreed to continue the item to April 28 at 10:00 AM to allow procurement and fiscal staff to refine the request. No formal vote or final position was recorded; the committee flagged a need for more specific written justification for any additional staff positions before advancing the measure.
