Summary

HB 405 aimed to increase transparency in public construction by mandating that sealed bids be opened at a public meeting, shifting bid advertising to newspapers or accessible websites, and preventing governments from enforcing contract clauses that deny contractors compensation for delays they cause. It also sought to create uniform commercial building permit forms and limit permit fees to actual costs, affecting state and local agencies, contractors, and building officials.
