Bids on State Contracts

When a Legislator or associated organization bids on a contract with a state governmental agency, the Legislator or associated organization shall file a statement with the Ethics Commission no later than 5:00 p.m. on the day that the bid is submitted.

When a state governmental agency normally awards a contract through a process of public notice and competitive bidding, a Legislator may not be granted the contract unless the contract has been awarded through a process of public notice and competitive bidding.

For more information, please read Sections 1015(4) and 1016-D of the Legislative Ethics Law.
