SUMMARY
Synopsis of HGUAC Amendment
The House Government and Urban Affairs Committee amendment changes the word "created" to the words "owned and controlled" to clarify which organizations that may have been created by one or more Indian nations, tribes or pueblos should be treated as a public agency under the Joint Powers Agreement Act.
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 207 amends various statutes relating to agreements between certain state offices or municipalities generally and Indian nations, tribes or pueblos. The bill authorizes public agencies, including the courts, to enter into joint powers agreements with Indian nations, tribes or pueblos to coordinate and facilitate joint provision of governmental service.
Significant Issues
General authority for agreements between public entities within the state, a county, a municipality or other public body is currently provided for in the Joint Powers Agreement Act. A new section of the bill providing for the exemption to the Procurement Code may be duplicated since current law allows the procurement rules of the Indian nation, tribe or pueblo to apply.
RELATIONSHIP
Senate Bill 98 defines "public agency" as used in the Joint Powers Agreement Act.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
The Attorney General's Office suggests that the word "created" on page 9, line 22 should be replaced with the words "owned and controlled" to clarify which organizations that may have been created by one or more Indian nations, tribes or pueblos should be treated as a public agency under the JPA Act.
