Bill > HB1066

This bill modifies Indiana law regarding public work projects by extending certain procedures and thresholds to include boards of aviation commissioners and airport authorities alongside existing regulations for school corporations. Specifically, the bill updates multiple sections of Indiana Code to ensure that aviation-related public entities follow the same bidding, contracting, and project management rules as other political subdivisions. Key changes include establishing consistent dollar thresholds for when competitive bidding procedures are required, allowing electronic bidding processes, and specifying new timelines for contract awards. For example, the bill adds provisions that if a federal grant is to fund part of a construction project, the successful bidder will have 90 days to proceed with the contract. The modifications aim to standardize public works project procedures across different types of local government entities, potentially increasing transparency, competition, and efficiency in public infrastructure procurement. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving affected entities time to prepare for the new requirements.
