Kentucky Bill Would Prohibit Contracts with Bidders Whose Lobbyist Has Been Convicted of a Crime
Kentucky State Sen. Stephen Meredith introduced a bill that would prohibit awarding, extending, or renewing state contracts with a bidder or contractor if the company had used a lobbyist to win an earlier version of the contract and the lobbyist was convicted of a related crime within the last five years.
The bill would apply retroactively to state contracts entered into since January 1, 2017.
