Labor: other; fair and open competition in governmental construction act; repeal. Repeals 2011 PA 98 (MCL 408.871 - 408.883).
This bill removes the Fair and Open Competition in Governmental Construction Act from Michigan law, effectively ending the legal framework that previously governed how state and local construction projects must be awarded. By repealing the specific statutes, the legislation eliminates the requirements that were designed to ensure fair bidding processes for public works. The change directly affects government entities and contractors who previously had to follow the rules established by the 2011 act.
