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. This change aims to clarify the conditions under which the county board must seek bids for these services.

The specific legal language amended in the bill includes the insertion of the phrase "and that have at least 2 English newspapers published daily" into the statute. This modification ensures that the requirement to invite proposals is applicable only to those larger counties that meet both criteria, potentially streamlining the process and reducing unnecessary obligations for counties that do not meet the newspaper publication threshold.
