Summary

The committee discussed SB117, a bill to allow county commissions to permit procurement and purchasing authority to apply to service purchases and to let a chief county administrative officer designate another county official to oversee procurement; the committee indicated no opposition and gave a favorable recommendation.

The committee took up SB117 near the end of its Feb. 6 session. The chair introduced the item as a bill "for the county commissions" that would allow procurement and purchasing program authority to apply to purchases of services and would let the chief county administrative officer designate another county official to oversee procurement.

The chair summarized that the change aims to allow counties flexibility in who is responsible for procurement functions. When asked whether the committee's recommendation was favorable, the exchange indicated no opposition.

The transcript shows SB187 was carried over earlier in the agenda and that SB117 received a favorable reception from the committee; the record does not include text of SB117 or a roll-call vote. The committee moved on to conclude business after the favorable indication.
