Revises definition of "contracting unit" for government cooperative purchasing agreements.

This bill revises New Jersey's definition of "contracting unit" to clarify which government entities can participate in cooperative purchasing agreements. Specifically, it changes the definition to explicitly include "State authority or agency" while maintaining the exclusion of "State board, commission, or committee." This allows state-level authorities (like state agencies or commissions operating as authorities) to join cooperative purchasing arrangements with other jurisdictions, whereas they were previously excluded under the current wording. The change directly affects State authorities and agencies by expanding their eligibility to use these cost-saving procurement agreements.
