For legislation to increase competition and reduce costs for constructing water treatment plants. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase competition and reduce costs for constructing water treatment plants. It amends the existing law by requiring the regulations and procedures for prequalifying contractors for work on water treatment plants to mandate that a general contractor have experience constructing, modifying, or repairing a water treatment plant within the past 10 years. This change is intended to maximize the number of qualified contractors for such work, thereby increasing competition and potentially reducing costs for water treatment plant construction projects.
