Require all public contracts be publicly advertised

HB 3035 requires public entities using taxpayer funds to notify all affected municipalities and counties within seven days of accepting a bid for any public construction or other contract. The notice must include the contractor’s name, contact details, a brief service description, and timeline. Municipalities and counties must then publish the full contract terms and allow a 30-day public comment period. This applies to all contracts where the contractor or subcontractors will perform services in those local jurisdictions. The bill directly affects public entities awarding contracts and local governments managing public input.
