     A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 280. (1) Before seeking approval from the civil service

 

commission for privatizing any services that replace services

 

performed by state employees, a state agency must submit a detailed

 

preprivatization cost-benefit analysis to the appropriations

 

committees of the senate and house of representatives. The analysis

 

must be prepared utilizing accurate, reliable, and objective data

 

and must use the soundest actuarial techniques that are available

 

to the state agency. The analysis must include a detailed

 

comparative estimate of the costs that this state would incur for

 

the period of the proposed contract under the following

 

circumstances:

     (a) If state employees were to continue to provide the

 

services.

 

     (b) If a private contractor were to provide the services. The

 

cost analysis of privatizing the services must include all of the

 

following costs:

 

     (i) All necessary monitoring and oversight of the private

 

entity by the state.

 

     (ii) Up-to-date cost estimates for using companies that have a

 

previous history or reputation for providing quality services and

 

that will provide services covered by performance bonds.

 

     (2) A state agency shall not proceed with privatization of

 

services under this section until it receives cost estimates and

 

recommendations for changes in work processes from the state

 

employees who are performing the services or their representatives

 

and gives full and fair consideration of the revised cost estimates

 

and recommendations for changes in work processes.

 

     (3) The state agency shall publish a copy of the detailed

 

preprivatization cost-benefit analysis on the state agency's

 

website.
