HB773 sets guidelines for state and local government procurement, prioritizing goods and services from prison enterprises and nonprofits assisting persons with disabilities. Beginning January 1, 2027, state agencies must give preference to supplies and services from prison enterprises, nonprofits for the blind, nonprofits for other severely disabled persons, and nonprofits or workshops for veterans. The State Use Council for the Purchase of Goods and Services Provided by Individuals with Disabilities coordinates these purchases.
