What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Administration (DOA) is required to
promulgate rules for the procurement of contractual services by DOA and its
designated agents. This bill requires that, if those rules allow bidders to protest or
appeal decisions regarding the award of a service contract and if DOA or its agent
receives a timely notice of intent to protest or appeal a decision or a timely protest
or appeal, DOA or its agent may not proceed with contractual services until a
decision is made on the protest or appeal. Under the bill, this prohibition does not
apply if the secretary of administration provides a written determination that
proceeding with the contractual services without delay is necessary to protect public
health or safety.
