AN ACT CONCERNING AN INCREASE IN THE THRESHOLD FOR SEALED BIDDING ON CERTAIN MUNICIPAL CONTRACTS.

HB 6432 increases the threshold for requiring sealed bidding on municipal contracts from $25,000 to $50,000. This change directly affects local municipalities and their procurement processes for purchasing goods or services. Municipalities will no longer need to use sealed bidding for contracts under $50,000, allowing them to use simplified purchasing methods for smaller purchases. The bill modifies Section 7-148v of the general statutes to implement this threshold adjustment.
