ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Fifth Legislature, Second Regular Session
ENACTED
AMENDED
FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2869/S.B. 1736
procurement; 2022-2023
Purpose
Makes statutory and session law changes relating to procurement necessary to implement the FY 2023 state budget.
Background
The Arizona Constitution prohibits substantive law from being included in the general appropriations, capital outlay appropriations and supplemental appropriations bills. However, it is often necessary to make statutory and session law changes to effectuate the budget. Thus, separate bills called budget reconciliation bills (BRBs) are introduced to enact these provisions. Because BRBs contain substantive law changes, the Arizona Constitution provides that they become effective on the general effective date, unless an emergency clause is enacted.
H.B. 2869 contains the budget reconciliation provisions for changes relating to procurement.
Provisions
2. Prohibits ADOR, in soliciting bids through the request for proposals for the Project, from including any mandatory minimum offeror qualifications, including the number of:
a) years spent developing information technology systems;
b) years spent developing information technology systems in Arizona; or
c) integrated tax systems implemented.
3. Requires ADOR to review any proposal submitted for an offeror that has developed, marketed and deployed, in whole or in part, an integrated tax system of similar size and complexity as the current ADOR tax system.
4. Limits the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records exemption from Arizona Procurement Code requirements for purchases and contracts for goods and services to only contracts of $150,000 or less.
5. Makes technical changes
6. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
Amendments Adopted by Committee of the Whole
1. Requires ADOR, for the Project funded by the $15,819,800 appropriation in the FY 2023 General Appropriations Act, to use the competitive sealed proposal procurement process pursuant to the Arizona Procurement Code.
2. Prohibits ADOR, in soliciting bids through the request for proposals for the Project, from including any mandatory minimum offeror qualifications, including the number of:
