Montana HJ42 calls for a study on state agency procurement practices, focusing on no-bid contracts and transparency.
Montana HJ42 directs the Legislative Council to request an interim study on state agency procurement practices. The study will review procurement processes, identify deviations from the Montana Procurement Act, and evaluate contracts for signs of waste, fraud, or abuse. It will also investigate ways to standardize and centralize procurement reporting and develop recommendations for changes to prevent future deviations. The study will include input from stakeholders and be completed by September 15, 2026, with results reported to the 70th Legislature.
