Bill > HB2227

This bill prohibits entities that contribute to promoting a bond issuance or budget override from subsequently bidding on contracts funded by that same bond or budget override. Specifically, if an individual, corporation, partnership, association, or other organization makes a financial contribution to an entity advocating for a bond or budget override, and that bond or override is subsequently approved by qualified voters, the contributing entity is barred from competing for contracts directly funded by those funds. The bill applies this prohibition at both the municipal (city) level in Section 1 and the county level in Section 2, effectively creating a statewide restriction designed to prevent potential conflicts of interest where contributors might seek to financially benefit from the very funding measures they helped pass. This provision aims to create more transparency and fairness in local government financial processes by preventing entities from potentially using their financial contributions as a means to gain preferential contract access.
