Subject: [RPPTL-constructionlaw] Local preference ordinances

My client has asked this question:  "Have you seen or heard about possible state legislation that would make local contractor preference on bids illegal?"

Fred (or anyone else), can you provide an answer?  What is the current status of the law regarding local preference ordinances?  Any pending legislation regarding these ordinances?

Thanks.
