Relates to establishing protest procedures on contracts rewarded by state agencies

This bill requires state agencies and public authorities to establish clear written procedures for challenging contract awards. It mandates that these procedures specify how to file a protest (including deadlines of 10 business days after award notice or 5 days after debriefing), how protests will be resolved, and how records will be retained. The policy directly affects bidders and others who believe they were unfairly excluded from procurement processes. It standardizes protest mechanisms across all state agencies without altering substantive procurement rules.
