Louisiana House Bill HB882 Comm Sub / Analysis

                    RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 670 (HB 882) 2016 Regular Session	Armes
Existing law provides for methods of source selection that may be utilized by state agencies
to satisfy a state goal for contracting with veteran and service-connected disabled veteran-
owned small entrepreneurships.
Prior law authorized 10% of the total evaluation points in a request for proposal to be
awarded to an offeror who was a certified veteran and service-connected disabled veteran-
owned small business entrepreneurship.
New law changes prior law relative to the awarding of 10% of the total evaluation points to
certain veterans from a permissive requirement to a mandatory requirement.  Exempts
proposals for design-build or construction manager at risk methods of construction from the
new law requirements regarding the mandatory award of evaluation points to certain
veterans.
Effective Aug. 1, 2016.
