THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 131. (1) The director may issue, alter, or rescind

 

administrative and procedural directives as determined to be

directives are exempt from the definition of a rule pursuant to

 

section 7 of the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA

 

306, MCL 24.207. The directives shall be placed in the appropriate

 

manual and distributed to each principal department, autonomous

 

entity within state government, the senate and house appropriations

 

committees, and the fiscal agencies. The directives shall take

 

effect upon written approval of the director unless a later date is

 

specified. Before a directive may become effective, the department

 

shall give the affected principal departments reasonable time, as

 

determined by the department of management and budget, to respond.

 

     (2) The department may promulgate rules as necessary to

 

implement this act. The rules shall be promulgated pursuant to the

 

administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201 to

 

24.328.

 

     Sec. 264. 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% 20% 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.
