Limits the availability of the design-build method to certain state and local entities

This bill modifies Missouri law to restrict the use of the design-build contracting method for state and local government projects. Effective August 28, 2024, it requires that any public entity using this method must also require an architect to design the building or remodeling project. The rule applies to counties, municipalities, and various state agencies, including public universities and elected offices. The legislation aims to clarify that these specific government bodies must include an architect in the design phase when choosing this particular construction approach.
