Bill > SB1307

This bill amends Section 103D-303 of Hawaii Revised Statutes to modify the debriefing process for procurement contracts. Specifically, it restricts procurement officers from disclosing a competing offeror's detailed proposal or evaluation scores during a debriefing requested by a non-selected offeror. The bill allows such detailed information to be shared only after any protest is resolved and the contract is executed, though a summary of scores may be provided during the initial debriefing. The legislation maintains the existing process where non-selected offerors can request a debriefing within three working days after a contract is awarded and can file a written protest within five working days after the debriefing is completed. The bill aims to protect the confidentiality of competing proposals during the procurement process while still providing transparency through a summary of scores. The act will take effect upon approval and does not impact rights, penalties, or proceedings that began before its effective date.
