Bill > HB988

This bill amends Section 103D-303 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to modify the rules around procurement debriefings. Specifically, it restricts procurement officers from disclosing a competing offeror's full proposal or detailed evaluation scores during a debriefing requested by a non-selected offeror. The bill allows only a summary of scores to be shared during the initial debriefing. Full disclosure of a competing offeror's proposal and complete evaluation scores will be permitted only after any protests have been resolved and the contract has been officially executed. Non-selected offerors can still request a debriefing within three working days after a contract is awarded, and they retain the right to file a written protest within five working days after the debriefing is completed. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2491, and does not impact any rights, penalties, or proceedings that existed before its effective date.
