STATE PROCUREMENT – Amends and adds to existing law regarding the procurement of property by the State of Idaho.

Idaho's H 301 amends state procurement laws to clarify definitions, update budget request requirements, and revise bidding procedures for state agencies. It establishes a $250,000 threshold for requiring competitive bids on property purchases, defines key terms like "request for proposal," and adds new rules for soliciting bids (e.g., Section 67-9208A). The bill directly affects state departments and offices that procure goods or services, requiring them to submit detailed budget requests for major acquisitions and follow updated ethics and disclosure rules. These changes streamline procurement processes without creating new funding or altering state spending limits.
