Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the authority of the Parks and Wildlife Department to procure goods and services related to items for resale by the department.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Parks and Wildlife Code by adding a new subsection that expands the department's authority to procure goods and services for resale. Specifically, the bill allows the Parks and Wildlife Department to obtain items for resale through any method approved by its commission, with the key requirement that the procurement method must provide the best value to the department. This change is designed to help the department meet its business needs and increase potential revenue by giving it more flexibility in how it acquires items to sell, such as merchandise or supplies in state parks and wildlife facilities. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, which provides ample time for the department to prepare and implement the new procurement procedures.
