SB 1028 - This act makes various changes regarding procurement. The act:

(1) Allows the state to use the reverse auction procurement method, wherein bidders would openly compete against each other through real-time electronic bidding with the award being made to the lowest bidder;

(2) Modifies the recycling preference law to remove provisions that have expired; and

(3) Removes sections concerning vendor rotation and purchasing consolidation.

The act is similar to SB 660 (2003).
