SB 513 (2026)
Require owner's project manager for school building aid applications over $2 million
This bill did not become law.
Mandates that school districts or chartered public schools applying for school building aid must engage the services of an owner's project manager for construction projects of $1,250,000 or more at the time of application, rather than waiting until the project is accepted.
The House amended the bill, raising the threshold for the requirement to $2 million.
The bill also permits schools to hire an owner's project manager (OPM) before entering into a contract for design services. The bill also states, "The OPM shall have no contractual ties to the architect, design team, or general contractor to avoid conflicts of interest."
The Senate added their original version of the bill to HB 1565.
