This bill allows swimming facility contractors to bypass prequalification every two years if they meet specific credentials. It also gives the Department of Public Health authority to implement this exemption.

  • Environment: This bill does not clearly impact environmental concerns related to swimming facilities.
  • Small Business: This bill may simplify the contracting process for small swimming facility construction businesses by reducing prequalification frequency.
