House
Senate

Key Points

  • Housing Department would have to require public housing agencies to post contract details on their own websites.
  • Disclosures would include what goods or services were bought, the vendor, and when the contract was put out for bids.
  • Agencies would also have to post the bids and quotes they asked for, plus name the official who requested the contract.
  • The goal is to make public housing spending easier for residents, reporters, and watchdogs to review.
  • Housing Department would have up to 1 year after the law passes to put this requirement in place.
