National Laboratories Partnership Improvement Act of 2000

Summary

National Laboratories Partnership Improvement Act of 1999 - Instructs the Secretary of Energy to: (1) establish a Regional Technology Infrastructure Program to improve the ability of the National Laboratories to support department missions; (2) authorize the Director of each National Laboratory to implement such Program pursuant to prescribed program requirements; (3) require the Director of each multiprogram National Laboratory to establish a small business advocacy function and a small business assistance program; and (4) require such Director to appoint a technology partnership ombudsman for complaint resolution. Instructs the Secretary to ensure that each contractor operating a National Laboratory has policies and procedures, including an employee benefits program, that do not create disincentives to the transfer of scientific and technical personnel among contractor-operated National Laboratories. Amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to authorize the Secretary to enter into transactions with public agencies and private organizations in furtherance of functions including research, development, or demonstration projects. Amends the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 to reflect the provisions of this Act with respect to strategic plans, Federal waivers, and time required for approval.
