Revises definition of "contracting unit" for government cooperative purchasing agreements.

This bill revises New Jersey's definition of "contracting unit" to clarify which government entities can use cooperative purchasing agreements. Specifically, it changes the definition to explicitly include "State authority or agency" (previously it used vague language like "authority or agency"), allowing these state-run organizations to participate in cooperative purchasing. It does not change eligibility for existing entities like counties, municipalities, or school districts. State boards, commissions, and committees remain excluded from participating, as they were under current law. The change ensures State authorities can join cooperative agreements to potentially save costs on shared purchases.
