Senate Public Relations Committee Bill (Final Draft)_
The Process of Acquisition Bills Amendment (Final Version)
1. (Final Version)
The Process of Acquisition & Implementation of Bills Amendment
Whereas:
The PUC Student Senate does not have a step-by-step process in place for purchasing
item bills that are passed; for the student body. As a result, due to the lack of oversight
and structure, items such as shower clocks, ice machines, vacuum cleaners, have not been
purchased. Examples from this year included items such as the Nichol Couch and
Grainger Refrigerator, which SA Senate and AD Council approved. Unfortunately, these
items have yet to be purchased. The money that had been appropriated for these items,
continue to remain in the SA Senate budget, creating budgetary problems and confusion
for bills requesting for appropriations.
Therefore, let it be proposed that:
A new paragraph under Article VI, Section 10 Duties be added to the PUC Constitution &
Bylaws that presents a step-by-step process for the purchase and implementation of item
bills and says:
Article VI, Section 10 Duties
The Process of Acquisition & Implementation of Bills
Para. 61
Any bills of purchase presented by an SA Senator that requests funding to be
appropriated by SA Senate must be approved by a two-thirds majority of SA
Senate in order for the bill to pass to AD Council. The bill must be approved by
AD Council in order to be authorized and implemented. Once approved the SA
Executive Vice President shall send a copy of the approved bill to the SA
Financial Vice President so the said item may be purchased. In order for the bill to
be presented SA Senate, a working link of the item to be purchased must be
included in the bill by the SA Senator or Senators who have authored the bill. The
bill must be purchased within three to five days after its approval by Ad Council.
Once the item of purchase has arrived, a notification by the SA Executive Vice
President shall be sent to the authors of the bill for pickup. To implement the bill,
the SA Senator must pickup the item from the SA Executive Vice President’s
Office and deliver it to its place of use within a week after its pickup. If items that
are purchased cannot be delivered to PUC, it shall be the SA Senator’s full
responsibility for its acquisition and transport to PUC. For items that are of
sizable mass and weight, the deliverer must transport the item to its intended place
of usage.
