SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 558 appropriates $75.0 from the General Fund to the Labor Department for the purpose of contracting for programs to train private sector employees in business ethics.
PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS
The Labor Department should build performance standards into the contract(s). Output measures that could be included would be the number of seminars or meetings, the number of persons trained. The desired outcome would be more ethical business practices, which may result but would be impossible to measure.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $75.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY02 shall revert to the general fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
The Labor Department will oversee the contract. They say that they will issue an RFP and contract with an experienced organization. They also report they are required to set aside a small percent of the money for administrative management.
