Randolph-Sheppard Act

All,

I have someone coming to speak at our City Council meeting about the Randolph-Sheppard Act and its Oklahoma implementation (7 O.S. sec. 71-78). I don’t see where it applies to municipalities, but I saw an older website saying that this does make it apply to all local government buildings:

. It shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners of each county and the governing boards of all state institutions, state agencies and state or county public trust authorities, with regard to the premises of county or state property under their respective jurisdictions or the premises of property leased by them in whole or in part, to give priority to vending facilities operated by licensed blind operators and established by the State Department of Rehabilitation Services. Governing boards shall observe such priority by entering into an agreement with the Department. Operators shall be licensed by the Department.

I’m obviously not reading this that way but wanted to put more eyes on it, and make sure I’m not missing something. In my opinion it’s just state and county facilities.

Thanks,

John R. Andrew, J.D., M.P.A.
