HRS §103F-203
Providers must help plan health and human services
Before a state agency asks for bids, it can ask providers to help plan health and human services. Providers must share information, suggest ways to improve services, and recommend cost-effective options. The agency can make this a contract requirement if it says so in the request for proposals.
