BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Florida League of Cities

Commercial Service Airport Transparency and Accountability (Monitor)

HB 1123 (Gossett-Seidman) and SB 1646 (Davis) require commercial service airports to post certain information on their website and modify certain purchasing requirements. The airport must post online the airport’s master plan and any contract or contract amendments for the purchase of commodities or contractual services in excess of category five. The bills also increase the threshold that requires commercial service airports to use a competitive solicitation process from category three to category five. The bills increase the threshold that requires the airport’s governing body to approve a contract as a separate line item on a meeting agenda from category five to $4 million. (Taggart)
