ACT 175 – CASH OR PROTEST BOND REQUIREMENT
This past legislative session, the Legislature enacted H.B. 1470 HDl, SD1, CD1 (Act 175) that took effect on July 1, 2009. One section of Act 175 will now require that any person who desires to continue to contest the award of a bid, decided by the chief procurement officer, must now post a cash or protest bond of varying amounts based upon the value of the contract. In the event that the party initiating the protest is successful, the protest bond shall be returned. If the protest is not upheld, the bond shall be forfeited to the state general fund.  Click here for the full text of Act 175.   Pages 22 to 27 are the changes made in the law regarding bid protests.
