Sec. 94.011. VENDING FACILITY EQUIPMENT AND STOCK

(a) The commission may supply a blind vending facility operator with equipment and initial stock necessary for the operator to begin business.

(b) The commission shall collect and set aside from the proceeds of the operation of its vending facilities enough money:

(1) to insure a sufficient amount of initial stock for the facilities and for their proper maintenance;

(2) to pay the costs of supervision and other expenses incidental to the operation of the facilities; and

(3) to pay other program costs to the extent necessary to assure fair and equal treatment of the blind persons licensed to operate the facilities and to the extent allowed under federal programs that provide financial support to the commission.

(c) Except for purchasing and installing original equipment, the operation of commission-sponsored vending facilities must be as self-supporting and self-sustaining as possible. To achieve this end, the commission shall periodically review and, when necessary, revise its schedules for collecting and setting aside money from the proceeds of its vending facilities.
