Digest
HB 664 allows municipalities with populations of 700,000 or more to consider the principal location of a business when awarding contracts for non-construction services or personal property valued under $100,000. Proposals are scored on a 100-point scale, with up to 10 points awarded to businesses based in the municipality or employing a significant portion of their workforce locally. This bill encourages local economic development by giving an advantage to businesses with ties to the community, while maintaining flexibility for municipal decision-making.
