(1999) apply to CWCB contracts with federal, state and local government agencies? Conclusion: No. While the legislative history does not indicate whether the General Assembly intended the vendor offset system to apply to governments, application of the principles of statutory construction supports the conclusion that the vendor offset system does not apply to federal, state and local government agencies.
