HB 741 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise procurement laws

HB 741 proposes to generally revise state procurement laws, affecting how state governmental bodies acquire supplies and services from businesses and individuals. The bill updates definitions for various procurement-related terms, including "facility" and "services." A key provision is the revision of exceptions to these laws, which would bring more types of contracts, such as certain agreements made by the Montana State Lottery or the State Compensation Insurance Fund, under the state's procurement regulations. It also modifies which professional services are exempt from these rules.
