Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill generally prohibits local governmental units from excluding from
consideration the use of piping materials that meet the project's standards, where
required and as part of a public contract, unless there are sound engineering
practices suggesting that a particular type of piping materials be used for that
particular project. The bill defines piping materials as piping materials that meet
standards issued by ASTM International, the American Water Works Association,
or NSF International.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
