Montana HB875 revises state contract requirements for construction, repair, or public works, allowing resident bidder preference and setting.

Montana HB875 revises state contract requirements for construction, repair, or public works. It mandates that public agencies award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder without regard to residency. However, it allows a preference for resident bidders against nonresident bidders from states or countries that enforce a resident preference. This preference must be equal to the preference given in the other state or country.
