What AB 2381 does, verified March 10, 2026

Currently, municipal water districts and sanitation districts must let contracts for $35,000 or more to the lowest responsible bidder. The bill would increase this threshold to $220,000. The threshold amount would be adjusted annually to reflect the percentage change, starting from January 1, 2028, and published on the Controller's internet website.
