WHEREAS, the purpose of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is to help the physically handicapped return to the job market; and
WHEREAS, two clients of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation are paraplegics confined to wheelchairs and need modifications to their vans in order to commute to their jobs; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation entered into a contract with Vantasyland whereby Vantasyland supplied parts and service in the amount of $9,438. in modifying these two vans; and
WHEREAS, the money for this type of expenditure is available and has been budgeted by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation for this installation; and
WHEREAS, the Secretary of Finance has refused to approve the payment of this debt because the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation failed to submit a proper purchase order prior to the work being performed, and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation failed to follow the bid laws of the State of Delaware.
NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:
Section 1.
