	As Passed the House

HB 2328 changes the normal retirement qualification for the Corrections Officers Retirement Plan (CORP) from 25 to 20 years of service.

The proposed strike-everything amendment to HB 2328 allows the contracting parties of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to form a separate legal entity in order to contract for or perform services specified in the IGA.

History

Current law allows authorized public agencies to enter into IGAs for contracting services or jointly exercising common powers. Each IGA must specify the duration and purpose of the contract or agreement, the manner of financing the joint undertaking and budget information and the permissible methods used for terminating the contract or agreement. HB 2157 requires an additional provision be included in the contract or agreement when applicable. The provision stipulates that any separate entity or organization that is designated to provide services to, administer, execute or be funded by the agreement for the parties must be recorded in the document.

Provisions

· Permits contracting parties of an IGA to form a separate legal entity, including a nonprofit corporation, to contract for or perform services as specified in the IGA.

· Allows the separate entity to exercise powers that are jointly held by the contracting parties.

· Requires the precise organization, composition, title and nature of a separate entity to be included in the contract or agreement.
