What changed between versions

B-Engrossed → Enrolled · 3 edits · Mar 10, 2026
MINOR
The bill was finalized into its enrolled version, removing the original summary and editorial notes. The core policy changes involve tightening requirements for public contractors: the exemption threshold for contracts requiring tax compliance certificates was raised from $1,000 to $250,000, and the requirement now explicitly applies to both the provider and any owners with at least a 20% stake, rather than just the provider.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was expanded to explicitly require compliance certificates from both the contractor and the contractor's major owners, and the financial threshold triggering these requirements was significantly increased.
REQUIREMENT

The dollar threshold for requiring a tax compliance certificate was increased from $1,000 to $250,000.

ELIGIBILITY

The requirement to submit tax compliance certificates now explicitly applies to both the provider and any owner with a 20% or greater ownership interest.

TECHNICAL

The original 'Summary' section and editorial notes explaining how to read the bill were removed as the bill was finalized.
