HB 1308
Virginia bill expands professional services definition under state procurement law, potentially altering government contracting rules and vendor competition requirements.
HB 1308 expands the definition of "professional services" under Virginia's Public Procurement Act, the state law governing how government agencies purchase goods and services. The bill has passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support and is now in the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology. The specific services being added to this definition are not detailed in the available legislative record.
Changing what qualifies as "professional services" affects which procurement rules apply, potentially influencing contract competition, pricing, and transparency requirements. This can impact both state budgets and private businesses competing for government contracts, depending on whether the expanded definition increases or decreases regulatory requirements.
