HOUSE BILL No. 4705

 

June 9, 2015, Introduced by Reps. Lucido, Howrylak, McBroom, Kivela, Faris and Dianda and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

 

     A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled

 

"The management and budget act,"

 

by amending section 264 (MCL 18.1264), as added by 1988 PA 504.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 264. (1) The department may debar a vendor from

 

participation in the bid process and from contract award upon

 

notice and a finding that the vendor is not able to perform

 

responsibly, or that the vendor, or an officer or an owner of a 25%

 

or greater share of the vendor, has demonstrated a lack of

 

integrity that could jeopardize the state's interest if the state

 

were to contract with the vendor.

 

     (2) Beginning October 1, 2015, a vendor may not participate in

 

the bid process or be awarded a contract under this act unless the

 

vendor has submitted a statement to the department, signed by the

 

vendor under the penalty of perjury, attesting that the vendor is

 

in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and

 

regulations. If the department or a state agency has entered into a

 

contract with a vendor that is in violation of this subsection, the

 

department or state agency may void the contract.
