Bill > HB661

This bill amends a section of Pennsylvania law related to county contract procedures, specifically modifying the exceptions to advertising and bidding requirements for purchasing milk. Currently, the law exempts milk purchases for counties of the second class A from standard bidding procedures. The proposed change removes the specific reference to "counties of the second class A," which appears to broaden the exemption to potentially apply to milk purchases by county commissioners across all county classes. By eliminating the class-specific qualification, the bill seems to create a more uniform rule for milk purchasing that would apply statewide, potentially simplifying procurement processes for counties. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving local governments time to adjust to the new provision. While the change appears minor, it could have practical implications for how counties purchase milk and manage their procurement processes.
