RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 49 (SB 104) 2017 Regular Session Appel
Prior law regulated the bid procedure for contractors.
Prior law required that all architects, engineers, and awarding authorities place in their bid
specifications the requirement that a contractor shall certify that he holds an active license
and show his license number on the bid envelope.
New law provides that the bid specifications require that the contractor certify he holds an
active license by displaying his license number on the bid envelope.
Prior law provided that if the bid does not contain the contractor's certification and show the
contractor's license number on the bid envelope, the bid shall be automatically rejected.
New law provides that if the bid does not display the contractor's license number, the bid
shall be automatically rejected.
Effective August 1, 2017.
