What’s in it

AI summary Government agencies will no longer consider emergency repairs or routine maintenance to be "public improvements." This change affects how local governments and school districts handle construction bidding and certain types of contracts.1

Read the official explanation

This bill revises the definition of a public improvement for purposes of Code chapter (public construction bidding) to exclude emergency work, repair work, and maintenance work performed by agents of a governmental entity. By operation of law, the bill affects the term “public improvement” as used in Code chapter 26A (guaranteed maximum price contracts) and in Code sections 8.46 (lease-purchase reporting); 260C.38 (community college lease-purchase contracts); 278.1 (school district lease-purchase contracts); 297.7 (construction, renovation, and repair of school buildings); 298.3 (school district levy revenue); 314.1B (bid threshold subcommittees); 331.341 (county board of supervisors contracts); 364.4 (city lease-purchase contracts); and 384.20 (city finance accounts).
