MINOR
The bill was amended to shift its focus from the Counties Code to the Local Records Act, expanding its application to all municipalities rather than just counties. It introduces a new requirement for municipalities to maintain a public list of contracts valued at $5 million or more for public infrastructure projects, while also clarifying that home-rule municipalities must follow this rule.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from applying only to counties under the Counties Code to applying to all municipalities under the Local Records Act.
SCOPE
The legislative authority changed from the Counties Code to the Local Records Act, broadening the bill's applicability to include all municipalities, not just counties.
REQUIREMENT
A new requirement was added mandating that municipalities compile and maintain a publicly accessible list of contracts for public infrastructure projects valued at $5 million or more.
ENFORCEMENT
A new provision was added stating that home-rule municipalities cannot maintain contract lists in a way that conflicts with this new requirement, establishing it as a constitutional limitation on their powers.
