[Daniel Burke]

Hey, this is something that parents and educators should take advantage of
-- all that will be necessary to produce these materials is a Braille
embosser, software, etc.

Subject: Proposed Amendments to Blind Vendors Act


Hi, Carl:

Here are two additional amendments to the Blind Vendors Act we would like to
offer:

18-5-402. Definitions.

     (7) "State property" means those buildings or portions of buildings or
other real property owned or leased under a lease-purchase agreement or, in
the case of a building, where the majority of space is leased [in its
entirety -- delete] by the state or agencies of the state and used in the
conduct of state matters and occupied principally by state employees. State
property for the purpose of this part does not include vocational
institutions or institutions of higher education. 

18-5-416. Vending machines. The department may, except on state property,
directly or through contractual arrangements, operate a facility consisting
solely of vending machines if it has determined that operation by a blind
vendor would be inappropriate. The department shall not directly operate
vending machines on any state property where the department does not
directly operate vending machines on October 1, 1981, unless, after
competitive bid, the department is unable to obtain a suitable private
contractor to operate vending machines on the state property. [The
department shall not, except through competitive bid, authorize a blind
vendor to operate on state property a vending facility which consists solely
or primarily of vending machines and which does not require the active
presence of a vendor during its hours of operation. -- Delete]

(I can’t find a strike-through function in my email program, so I’ve placed
deletions in brackets followed by the word “delete”.)

Let me know if you have any questions regarding these changes. Thanks.

Sam
