What’s in it
AI summary New rules would change how the state defines a "public improvement" when it comes to construction bidding. Under this change, buying equipment would no longer count as a public improvement. It also means that certain repair or maintenance work for city electric projects would be excluded from this definition.1
Read the official explanation
This bill revises the definition of “public improvement” for purposes of Code chapter (public construction bidding) to exclude equipment. The bill also excludes from the definition repair or maintenance work performed for a city utility when the work is related to an electric generation or transmission project.20 (city finance accounts).
