Permits educational research and services corporation to act as lead agency or contracting unit for procurement of any goods or services.*

Summary

The legislation expands the authority of educational research and services corporations—consortia of public colleges, universities and eligible nonprofit institutions—so they can serve as the primary contracting entity for any goods, services or public‑works projects. This power extends to municipalities, counties, school districts and other local authorities, while still requiring compliance with existing state procurement laws. The change is intended to streamline purchasing and increase buying power across participating entities.
