Louisiana HB685 modifies existing law to allow state entities to procure public motor vehicles and rolling stock using the procurement process provided in the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). This change provides an exception to the current requirement of using the Louisiana Uniform Bid Form.
