MINOR
The bill was amended to add a new co-sponsor and reflect committee actions, including discharge and amendment. Substantively, the law regarding advance payments to non-profits was tightened to require agencies to fully execute contracts or issue directives before making payments, and the language regarding who must act was clarified to ensure agencies are obligated to advise organizations.
ELIGIBILITY
The requirement for non-profits to receive advance payments upon contract renewal was changed from an option for the organization to a mandatory obligation for the agency to either fully execute the contract or issue a directive.
REQUIREMENT
The text was edited to clarify that the agency must advise the non-profit of its intention to renew or extend the contract, removing ambiguity about whether the organization could initiate the process.
TECHNICAL
The bill title and introductory text were updated to reflect the addition of Senator Webb as a co-sponsor and to include the committee's discharge and amendment actions.
