HB 2271 Public Procurement Act; transactions by certain public employees.

Introduced by: Marian Van Landingham | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Public Procurement Act; transactions by certain public employees. Eliminates the potential conflict between the different definitions of "immediate family" found in the Public Procurement and the State and Local Conflict of Interests Acts. Currently, under the Public Procurement Act, "immediate family" is defined more broadly than in the Conflict of Interests Act. As a result, a local employee may be in a position to approve or issue contracts to family members who do not reside in the same household. This bill makes it clear that an employee cannot participate in a procurement transaction involving the employee or a family member except as authorized in the State and Local Conflict of Interests Act.
