Declaration mandatory for outsourcing outside Colorado
The state of Colorado has brought in a bill that makes it mandatory for any private business seeking contracts from the state government to declare whether any of the business processes involved will require outsourcing to any other state or country prior to the actual commencement of the work.
After a contract is accepted, if is felt that it is necessary to move some of the work process outside the state, the contractor is required to explain to the state the need for such outsourcing. The bill is being introduced by Denver Democratic Sen. Peter Groff, who is heading the Interim Committee of the Legislature to examine the process of government purchasing and contracting practices. The move is not to impose any ban on outsourcing, but to ensure clarity in state expenses. LongmontFYI reports:
Aurora Democratic Sen. Stephanie Takis is also working on an outsourcing measure, which she said she will probably revise and may introduce as a non-committee bill next year. Takis’ draft proposal would require the state Office of Economic Development and the International Trade Office to prepare annual reports estimating the net number of jobs lost in Colorado during the previous year — and the estimated money lost to the state’s economy — as the result of outsourcing and offshoring.
