(b) Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, a state agency that purchases electronic monitoring devices including, but not limited to, global positioning systems, shall purchase the equipment through the use of the contract maintained by the commissioner of probation if the terms of that contract provide the most cost-efficient means of purchase and do not present any undue risk to public safety and include the use of a dual monitoring platform to address potential for lapse of coverage due to the absence of cellular service; provided, however, that the operational services division shall conduct a study to determine the feasibility of creating a statewide contract for the devices.
