Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Bill 1604 specifies that priority for contracts will now be given specifically to regional construction managers rather than just any companies with a local presence. This means that only firms that are based in the region and meet specific criteria—having at least 70% of their employees and 75% of their revenue generated from work within North Dakota—will be prioritized. This change aims to support local businesses and ensure that more of the state's construction work benefits the local economy.
