LABOR AND TRADE ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE. S 750. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY DETERMINES AND DECLARES THAT: 1. STATES HAVE TRADITIONALLY ENJOYED A LARGE DEGREE OF AUTONOMY TO SET THEIR OWN PROCUREMENT AND EMPLOYMENT POLICIES UNDER THE U.S. SYSTEM OF FEDERALISM. 2. RECENT INTERNATIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS THREATEN TO ERODE THIS TRADI- TIONAL STATE AUTONOMY BY REQUIRING STATE GOVERNMENTS TO ACCORD FOREIGN SUPPLIERS OF GOODS AND SERVICES TREATMENT NO LESS FAVORABLE THAN THAT AFFORDED TO IN-STATE SUPPLIERS. IN ADDITION, THE AGREEMENTS STIPULATE THAT STATE CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS MUST NOT BURDEN TRADE ANY MORE THAN NECESSARY, AND LIMIT SUPPLIER QUALIFICATIONS TO QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE "ESSENTIAL" TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT. 3. STATE LEGISLATORS HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN PRESERVING STATE AUTHORITY OVER PROCUREMENT POLICY. THESE CRITICAL DECISIONS SHOULD BE MADE ONLY WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE, AND ONLY AFTER THE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
