Bill Summary

The bill prohibits a State agency from entering into a contract or agreement with a business entity that requires any person or public entity, as a condition of doing business with that business entity, to submit a dispute arising after the signing of the contract to binding arbitration. These provisions deny those persons or public entities their rights and remedies in a court of law. The provisions of this bill do not apply to any contract or agreement in effect on the bill's effective date, that is necessary to address a public emergency, or that the State agency determines is unlikely to attract a number of qualified business entities sufficient to ensure a level of competition that will result in a contract price that is in the best interest of the State.

The provisions do not apply to existing contracts, contracts necessary to address a public emergency, or contracts the agency determines are unlikely to attract sufficient competition to result in the best contract price for the state.
