Senate Bill 162 amends the existing law regarding the bid requirements for the publication and printing of county board proceedings, notices, and advertisements specifically in counties with a population of 250,000 or more. The bill stipulates that only those counties that not only have a population of 250,000 or more but also have at least two English newspapers published daily are required to direct the county clerk to invite proposals for such publications.

The amendment modifies the current law by adding the condition of having at least two English newspapers published daily, thereby clarifying the criteria under which the county board must operate. This change aims to ensure that the publication process is competitive and accessible in larger counties with sufficient media resources.
