The bill amends Section 108 of Title 61 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the construction bidding procedures for political subdivisions. The key change involves the removal of the requirement for bidders to provide a written statement under oath when disclosing certain business relationships related to the project. This includes information about partnerships, joint ventures, and any business relationships that existed within the year prior to the bid submission, as well as the names and positions of individuals involved in those relationships.
By eliminating the oath requirement, the bill aims to streamline the bidding process for construction projects, potentially making it easier for bidders to comply with the regulations. The remaining requirements for disclosure of business relationships and the provision of a statement if no such relationships exist remain intact, ensuring that transparency is maintained in the bidding process while reducing the administrative burden on bidders.
