§ 57-10-161. General duties and responsibilities of consortium board; review of certain assistance proposals.
The duties and responsibilities of the consortium board shall be to set policy regarding delivery, and to implement delivery, of services to the state's non-agricultural small businesses, which services are provided by the consortium members or other state-supported agencies or institutions.
In order to ensure that existing delivery systems for services to small businesses are utilized whenever possible and to avoid duplication of services, any proposals for programs, grants or funding intended to provide services to small business in the general population or targeted areas of the state which are under consideration by state agencies or institutions, not members of the consortium, shall be reviewed by the consortium board. The board shall determine whether to include a program within one of the member agencies or delivery systems; include the agency or institution within the consortium; or disapprove the proposal. Excluded from this review process shall be any site-specific studies or fee-paid services provided by faculty members within the state university system and fee-paid services to small businesses provided by other state agencies or departments within the state university system.
