Committee advances bill aligning municipal sewer procurement threshold with state code ($35,000)
Summary
Senate Bill 454, which raises the $20,000 procurement threshold for municipal sewer labor and materials to $35,000 to match existing code section 22-9-203, was given a do-pass recommendation by the committee on voice vote.
Senator Mark Johnson presented SB 454 as a narrowly tailored bill to bring municipal sewer project procurement thresholds in line with Arkansas Code §22-9-203. "This would bring that to that current $35,000 figure that is already in 22-9-203," Johnson said.
Committee members asked no substantive questions and no members signed up to speak for or against the bill. A motion to give SB 454 a "do pass" recommendation was made and seconded; the committee voice-voted in favor and reported the bill out of committee.
The bill advances for further consideration under normal Senate procedures.
