MODERATE
This bill was reformatted from a traditional legislative document to a digital template format, with substantive changes to the financial threshold and effective date. The purchase contract threshold for local produce was increased from $250 to $25,000, and the effective date was changed from immediate approval to July 1, 3000. A new requirement was added mandating price adjustment clauses in contracts exceeding the threshold.
Scope change
The bill's applicability expanded significantly by raising the monetary threshold from $250 to $25,000, meaning many more procurement contracts would now be subject to the five-year term requirement.
