Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 456 raises the total limit for contracts related to architectural and engineering services and construction. Specifically, the maximum amount allowed for multiple contracts over four years has increased to $7.5 million, with individual contracts capped at $2 million. This change is significant because it enables state agencies and local public bodies to engage in larger projects and streamline procurement processes, potentially leading to greater efficiency and economic growth in infrastructure development.
