AN ACT relating to contract procurement.

Summary

Starting in fiscal year 2026‑27, the state auditor must audit the Highway Department’s contract system every two years, looking for bid‑rigging and other anti‑competitive practices. The department must also identify publicly owned land for temporary waste sites that could become industrial parks, and follow new regulations to make its bidding process more transparent and fair. The bill aims to protect taxpayer money and boost confidence in highway construction contracts.
