Title 815 CMR 8.00 - Contingent Contracts For Non-tax Revenue Maximization
Section 8.01 - Application, Purpose, Scope and Authority

Universal Citation: 815 MA Code of Regs 815.8

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) The purpose of 815 CMR 8.00 is to assure that the departments of the Commonwealth have access to professional and expert services to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of programs and to determine the necessity, appropriateness and reasonableness of present and future expenditures for operations which qualify for federal financial participation and other reimbursements.

(2) A method to obtain additional professional and expert services is to engage outside assistance, and to pay for such assistance from the proceeds of the additional revenue attributable thereto. Since the ability to pay the contractor is directly related to the accomplishment of increased revenue, the financial exchange is contingent upon the success of the underlying revenue maximization effort.

(3) All departments in all branches of state government using the Massachusetts Management Accounting and Reporting System (MMARS) may participate in contingency contracts to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of revenue performance. Entities that are component units of the Commonwealth but do not use MMARS may not participate in contingency contracts authorized under 815 CMR 8.00.

(4)815 CMR 8.00 is adopted under authority of M.G.L. c. 29, § 29E.
