MODERATE

This bill establishes a special fund to manage fees collected from a state procurement automation system, ensuring the money is used specifically for the system's maintenance and upgrades. It also clarifies the role of the School Facilities Authority's executive director as a chief procurement officer and sets a future effective date for the act.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include the creation of a dedicated financial mechanism (the special fund) for procurement system fees and clarified the specific responsibilities of the School Facilities Authority within the state procurement framework.

FISCAL

Created a new 'state procurement automation system special fund' to receive transaction fees from vendors, ensuring these funds are used exclusively for system management, maintenance, and upgrades.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new section designating the Executive Director of the School Facilities Authority as the chief procurement officer for that specific agency.
