TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS; AND TO REQUIRE PRICING INFORMATION FOR LIGHTING COMPONENTS FOR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS.
What it does: Bars the state, counties, cities and school districts from contracting for a project designed by an electrical engineering firm unless the design allows three-bid specification by three separate lighting agencies. Exempts municipal electric utilities; permits specialty-fixture exceptions. (AI-written summary of the bill; the official record shows the exact version voted)
Question before the chamber: Read the third time and failed.
