Bill > SB3

This bill modifies existing Nevada law regarding local government contracts by removing a previous restriction that prohibited local governments from entering into contracts solicited by other governmental entities or cooperative purchasing organizations if a contractor's license was required for any portion of the work. Specifically, the bill eliminates the language that previously prevented local governments from entering such contracts when a contractor's license would be needed. A cooperative purchasing organization is defined in the bill as an organization that aggregates demand from public entities to obtain lower prices and reduce procurement costs. The change allows local governments more flexibility in contract procurement by removing the previous licensing-related limitation. The bill maintains provisions that clarify liability, ensuring that the originally contracting local government is not responsible for obligations of other governmental entities involved in the solicitation, and vice versa. This modification aims to potentially streamline and expand contracting opportunities for local governments by removing a previous restrictive condition.
