Bill > HR3258

This bill modifies a section of United States Code related to contracting for engineering and design services by removing the special exemption previously granted to the State of Minnesota. Specifically, the bill amends Section 112(b)(2)(F) of title 23 by deleting the phrase "the States of West Virginia or Minnesota" and replacing it with "the State of West Virginia". This change means that Minnesota will now be subject to the same standard contracting requirements for engineering and design services as other states, effectively ending its previous unique status. The bill is titled the "Parity in Engineering Act", which suggests its intent is to create more uniform rules across states for these types of professional service contracts in the transportation infrastructure sector.
