Summary
The bill removes playground equipment purchases and installations for public K‑12 schools from the state’s public‑works bidding rules. Schools and local governments must still use the regular competitive‑bidding process, but they are no longer bound by the stricter public‑works requirements. This is intended to simplify and speed up playground projects.
