Bill Summary · SB 1089

Summary — SB 1089 (compiled document)

Note on source material: the document provided appears to contain text from multiple, unrelated bills from different jurisdictions that share the number “SB 1089.” The principal item matching the header information (Arizona, Title: REGULATION‑TECH, introduced Feb 4, 2025) is an Arizona Senate bill concerning the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The file also includes unrelated bill texts from Hawaii (electric vehicle charging readiness) and Illinois (a technical amendment to the Athletic Trainers Practice Act). Below is a focused summary of the Arizona provision and brief summaries of the other included texts.

Arizona — ADOT reporting on rejected lowest qualified bidders (primary item)

  • Purpose and intent
    Increase transparency and legislative oversight of ADOT construction contracting by requiring regular disclosure when the lowest responsible/qualified bidder is not awarded a contract.

  • Key provision(s)

    • Adds Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-377.
    • Requires the ADOT Director to issue a quarterly report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
    • The report must disclose each instance in which the lowest responsible bidder for a construction project contract awarded under Title 28 was not selected, and must state why that bidder was not selected.

  • Who is affected

    • Arizona Department of Transportation procurement and contracting processes.
    • Construction contractors and bidders for ADOT projects (information on bid awards and rejections will be reported to the Legislature).
    • Legislative leadership and oversight committees that will receive and review the reports.

  • Impact and implications

    • Increases transparency about procurement decisions where the lowest responsible bid is set aside.
    • May require ADOT to adopt or strengthen documentation procedures explaining non-selection decisions (administrative burden).
    • Could influence contractor behavior and public scrutiny of use of non‑price factors (e.g., responsibility, responsiveness, qualifications, best-value determinations).

  • Procedural/timeline notes (from provided header)

    • Introduced: February 4, 2025.
    • Status noted as “Rule 3‑9(a) / Re‑referred to Assignments” in the provided metadata.

Other bill texts present in the document (brief)

Hawaii — State buildings & EV charging (separate bill text)

  • Requires that, beginning July 1, 2025, designs of new state buildings with parking provide that at least 25% of parking stalls be EV charger‑ready (Level 2 wiring capacity described).
  • Directs the Hawaii State Energy Office to survey existing state parking facilities and identify 4–10 high‑priority facilities for retrofitting; requires a report to the legislature prior to the 2026 regular session.
  • Establishes a state goal to retrofit facilities and appropriates $300,000 for FY2025‑26 and $300,000 for FY2026‑27 for cost assessments and installations (to be expended by the Dept. of Accounting and General Services). Effective July 1, 2025.

Illinois — Technical amendment to Athletic Trainers Practice Act (separate bill text)

  • Makes a technical change to Section 2 (short title) of the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act (no substantive policy change indicated).
