What changed in the latest version
167 added · 180 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of HB 405 introduces a new provision that directs revenue from an administrative fee into a special account called the State Purchasing Reserve Restricted Account. This money can be used to help cover the costs of purchasing goods and services for certain public entities, as long as specific inflation criteria are met. This change matters because it aims to provide financial stability and support for public services, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.
