STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31558 / H0691
This bill requires any state agency, officer, department, division, bureau, board, commission, and institution
of the state, including the public utilities commission and any state institution of higher education to give 30
days notice via e-mail to legislators, newspapers, and television stations registered with LSO, and on their
own entities website of any agreement they intend to enter in which the transaction is $25 million or more in
actual state obligation or value. RFP proposals, emergency expenditures, legal settlements, ITD projects which
comply with their bid process, and expenditures authorized by the legislature are exempt. Approval of the
transaction is void if the notice is not given as required.
FISCAL NOTE
There would be very little fiscal impact since e-mail is being used and only one advertisement is required. So
the impact may be $250 dollars or less for each notice.
