SB 399, as introduced, Wright. State contracts: toxic substances: expedited payment procedure.
The State Contract Act prescribes the procedures and requirements applicable to various state agency contracts. The act excludes contracts made for specified emergency toxic substance work or remedial measures from the procedures and requirements of the State Contract Act, if the work is immediately necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public, as specified.
