| Acts Amending Procurement Code |
Updated: 5/19/08 - 8:45 AM |

In 2008, the General Assembly enacted significant changes to the Procurement Code, primarily to Article 9, which addresses construction. Those changes appear in 2008 Act No. 174 (Senate Bill 282), a copy of which is posted below. Currently pending are several other bills to amend the code. These will be posted when and if they pass.
In 2006, the General Assembly passed five Acts that amended the Consolidated Procurement Code. Of those, 2006 Act 376 (Senate Bill 572) was the most significant. Many of this act's changes were technical. Many others codified long-standing practices. The attached version of the bill (S. 572) shows all the changes as against the procurement code then in effect. Also attached are announcements and documentation related to the changes made by Act 376.
