SB1076

Increases cap on capital advancement contracts for state harbor improvements.

The bill increases the cap on capital advancement contracts for state harbor improvements from $2,000,000 per contract to an unspecified higher amount and from $5,000,000 per party to an unspecified higher amount. This change aims to facilitate improved project delivery and expedite project completion, especially for projects that enhance port resilience and operational efficiency. The department of transportation may enter into these contracts with private parties if the director determines it promotes the state's best interest.
