"The General Assembly finds that a request-for-proposal having been issued and a prime vendor having been selected, the Department may not enter into any contract for the construction and/or operation of a 225-bed juvenile correctional center until the following"


Explanation
(This amendment modifies language authorizing the Department of Juvenile Justice to enter into a contract for a private juvenile correctional center. The intent is to preserve efforts to date by the agency and vendor until such time as additional juvenile correctional facilities are needed. Based on the current juvenile correctional center population forecast, additional facilities will not be needed in the near term.)
