DIGEST
SB 182 Original 2021 Regular Session White
Present law requires that only contractors holding an active license may be awarded contracts either
by bid or through negotiation and that the contractor's license number be displayed on the bid
envelope or an authentic digital signature in the case of an electronic bid.
Proposed law retains these provisions.
Present law requires that if bids are to be received or forms furnished by an awarding authority, then
no proposal forms or specifications can be issued to anyone except a licensed contractor or his
representative. Requires that all proposal forms be issued no later than 24 hours prior to the hour and
date set for receiving proposals.
Proposed law repeals these provisions.
Effective August 1, 2021.
