Public website for state payments

The law requires the Montana Department of Administration to run a public website for state purchasing. The site shows each payment by a purchasing agency, listing the contractor’s name, the purpose, and the amount. Procurement records stay public and must be kept and managed under Montana’s records laws. The law does not change bidding methods or add any fees; earlier draft repeal language was removed. No end date is set for this website duty.
