Statutory Revision Committee. The bill makes the following
technical revisions to the procurement code (code):
•
Provides the correct cross-reference to the definition of information technology (section 1 of the bill);
•
Updates the terminology used in the definition of solicitation to refer to an electronic procurement system instead of an electronic bidding system to remain consistent with other provisions of the code (section 1); •
Updates terminology in the statute authorizing delegation of the executive director of the department of personnel's purchasing authority to clarify that delegation is to a governmental body, as defined in the code, instead of to a department or an agency, and, in conformity with that change, that an official is an elected official (section 2);
•
Clarifies the method of compiling and soliciting from lists of potential contractors (section 3);
•
Updates references to the United States department of veterans affairs to instead be the appropriate United States agency (section 4); and
•
Changes a reference from public procurement unit to local public procurement unit in a list in the cooperative purchasing statute that already includes public procurement unit (section 5).
