This legislation requires counties to advertise all bids for goods and services over $10,000 on the Georgia Procurement Registry in the county legal organ and any other media normally used by the county including the county's website. Since the bidding and notice requirements for purchasing goods and services varies greatly from county-to-county based upon their local legislation and ordinance, this legislation may require significant additional taxpayer funds to be spent in advertising in the legal organ.

 

The legislation also requires public works contracts over $100,000 to be advertised on an "appropriate" website and on the Georgia Procurement Registry.
