Terminating Design-Build Board
SB 129 terminates the Design-Build Board by repealing the section of law that established it (§5-22A-5). This bill amends related sections of the Design-Build Procurement Act to maintain the existing process for using design-build contracts for public projects without the oversight board. The change ensures the design-build method - where a single contractor handles both design and construction - can continue operating under current procedures. The bill does not alter how projects are selected or managed, only removes the board responsible for certifying project compliance.
