PROCUREMENT: Provides relative to procurement of certain services by public postsecondary education management boards (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)
HB 884 updates the rules for how public postsecondary education management boards purchase services by clarifying that general state laws apply unless specifically overridden. The bill explicitly includes boards participating in the higher education procurement code under these new guidelines and removes a specific phrase regarding contract value limits. These changes aim to streamline procurement processes by ensuring consistency with broader state statutes rather than limiting them to a single chapter of the law.
