The Randolph-Sheppard Act does require federal facilities to give preference to the blind vending program, but does not require federal departments, agencies, or instrumentalities to contract separately for vending facilities which include both cafeteria and vending machine services. Jails and other facilities under the control and supervision of county sheriffs are subject to the provisions of statute. Tenn. Const. Art. VII, S 1; 20 U.S.C. SS 107, et seg.; 34 C.F.R.

The State Attorney General cannot legally enforce these opinions; however, a state official should perform his duties in accordance with the state attorney's advice. No person or agency within the state's executive branch has authority over the Public Service Commission as the commissioners are independent elected officers. The courts can enjoin enforcement policies of the Commission that are unconstitutional. Neither criminal violation crimes nor bail can be collected on the side of the road; however, civil penalties can be collected this way, and the violator's truck can be detained for failure to pay the penalty, T.C.A. SS 8-6-109, 65-1-101, -116, 65-2-104, -106, -107, -108, -109, 65-15-122.
