The following bills that could impact ACEC member firms or
their clients have been introduced.
- HOUSE
BILL 144 – This Bill would allow agencies receiving a bid or
contract to require the payment of a legal processing fee that would be
established by the Office of Management and Budget. This Bill is in the
House Administration Committee. We have spoken to not only the sponsor of
this Bill, but also to other entities that could be impacted and have been
assured that it will most likely not get out of committee. We will
continue to monitor.
- SENATE
BILL 95 – This Bill would consolidate the current nineteen school
districts within the State to four districts. This Bill is in the Senate
Finance Committee. This Bill is not popular with the Districts and could
have a negative impact on firms doing business with the individual
Districts. We should monitor the Bill.
With June fast approaching, we
should continue to be diligent on reviewing Bills and be prepared to attend
hearings, etc. to speak on legislative matters that impact our businesses
either positively or negatively.
