AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TEST BED TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM.
What changed between versions
The advisory board's administrative home changed from the Office of Policy and Management to the Department of Economic and Community Development.
Two new advisory board members were added: one appointed by the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and one appointed by the Commissioner of Administrative Services in consultation with a nonprofit organization.
The application process was changed so applicants submit applications directly to the advisory board instead of through state agency commissioners.
A new rule prevents the advisory board from approving an applicant to participate in more than one pilot test program.
New requirements mandate that participating businesses must maintain patent documentation and be certified as a small contractor or minority business enterprise.
