Reported from JHA (Stand. Com. Rep. No. 1404-26) as amended in HD 1, recommending passage on Second Reading and referral to FIN.
Summary
The bill eliminates the $10,000 value threshold that previously limited certain prohibited contracts involving legislators or state employees. It also forbids any state agency from contracting for goods, services, or construction with businesses owned, operated, or controlled by a relative or household member of a principal department head or deputy director. Department heads, acting heads, and deputy directors must ensure compliance and can be held personally liable for violations.
