  • YEAR CREATED: 2006
  • ENTITY TYPE: Authority: Other
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is a resolution from the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc. opposing proposed preference laws in South Carolina. The resolution argues that these laws, which provide preferences for South Carolina firms or products, will result in reduced competition and increased prices. The document also states that reduced competition and increased prices will negatively impact taxpayers in South Carolina. Additionally, the resolution suggests that if these preference laws are enacted, other states may reciprocate by restricting South Carolina bidders' ability to compete in their markets. The National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc. expresses its opposition to all types of preference laws and views the proposed South Carolina bills as obstacles to cost-effective procurement in a free enterprise system. The resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 1, 2006.
