If this bill were to become law, it would amend Title 28, Chapter 2, Article 3 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 28-377. This new section would require the Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to issue a quarterly report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The report would detail instances where the lowest responsible bidder for a construction project contract was not selected, along with the reasons for not selecting that bidder.

The bill introduces new reporting requirements without altering existing statutes, thereby enhancing transparency in the bidding process for construction contracts managed by ADOT. This addition aims to provide legislative oversight and accountability regarding the selection of contractors for state highway projects.
