This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

This bill would require the legislative body of a city, county, or district to review any contract with a private party with a total value of $250,000 or more, that contains an automatic renewal clause on or before the annual date by which the contract may be rescinded.
