Permits the state and local municipalities to purchase from sources other than the correctional industries program of the department of corrections and community supervision

Summary

The bill changes the procurement rule so that state agencies, public authorities, commissions, public benefit corporations, and municipalities are no longer required to buy first from the Department of Corrections’ correctional industries program. They may now choose other suppliers when needed. This gives governments more flexibility but could reduce guaranteed sales for the prison‑run program.
