What This Bill Does
It amends Section 11-92B-24 to say that an authority and all contracts it makes are exempt from the competitive bidding rules in Sections 41-16-50 to 41-16-63. This means these authorities do not have to follow those bidding procedures when awarding contracts for developing former military bases. The change is intended to give these authorities more flexibility in procurement for their projects. The act becomes effective immediately after the Governor signs it (or when it becomes law otherwise).

Who It Affects

Contractors and vendors seeking to work with those authorities, whose bidding processes would not be required for these contracts—potentially affecting competition and procurement.

Key Provisions
