Committee advances bill extending procurement-disclosure felony to local officials
Summary
House Bill 3419 would expand an existing felony that criminalizes corrupt disclosure of private bid information by state officials to also cover county and city (subdivision) officials; the committee recorded a '7 ayes, 0 nay' vote to advance the bill.
Representative Strum presented House Bill 3419 as part of a package promoting government accountability, saying the bill extends an existing felony for corruptly disclosing private bid information "to officials of our subdivisions, our counties and cities."
Members raised no substantive questions during the committee’s presentation of the bill. The clerk announced the vote as '7 ayes, 0 nay' in the transcript and the committee showed HB 3419 out as a do pass.
The transcript does not include the bill text or references to specific sections of law; committee members described the measure as an expansion of an existing state-level procurement offense to local officials.
