Summary

The bill mandates that any state security services contract lasting three years or more and worth over $2 million must contain a clause allowing the contract to be modified if compensation or benefits rise because of new laws or collective‑bargaining outcomes. Any such modification must be approved by the chief procurement officer of the relevant procurement unit. This is intended to protect the state from unexpected cost increases.
