Unlawful disclosure of bid information
Official statutory text
Any disclosure by an employee of a public agency of the material
terms of a bid submitted in response to a bid notice issued by a
public agency in advance of the time set for opening of all bids so
submitted shall be unlawful. It shall be unlawful for any person to
solicit, possess, provide, or receive information which is to be
contained in a bid notice of a public agency, for use in preparing a
bid, in advance of the date on which the bid notice is to be made
equally and uniformly known to all prospective bidders and the
public. It shall be unlawful for any employee of a public agency to
withhold or impede the distribution of such information after notice
of the bid has been given, unless the solicitation of bids has been
withdrawn or the particular information in question has been deleted
or replaced through alteration of the bid notice and the withdrawal
or alteration has been made equally and uniformly known. Any
violation of this section for any purpose or in any manner
prohibited in Section 2 of this act shall be a felony and shall
render the proceedings void and require a new solicitation and
award. Any person convicted of violating any provision of this
section shall be prohibited from holding any public office in this
state and shall be prohibited from entering into any state contract.
