By Representative Shavers

ADOPTED 02/06/2023

On page 2, line 25, after "living." insert "The legislature therefore intends to increase the dollar limit from $25,000 to $75,000 for smaller agencies. It is the intent of the legislature that this limit apply annually to all contracts entered into by an agency under RCW 35.21.278 in any one year, and that this limit not be interpreted to apply on a per contract basis so as to allow any number of individual contracts of up to $75,000.

It is the intent of the legislature that this authority be used to provide additional opportunities for public service organizations to meaningfully participate in the betterment of their community, rather than as a way for local agencies to advantage non-profits over other businesses in public contracting."
