103D-1004. Reciprocity (a) [Repeal and reenactment on June 30, 2028. L 2024, c 113, §7.] To ensure fair and open competition for Hawaii businesses engaged in contracting with other states, the chief procurement officer may impose a reciprocal preference against bidders and offerors pursuant to sections 103D-302 and 103D-303 from those states which apply preferences. The amount of the reciprocal preference shall be equal to the amount by which the non-resident preference exceeds any preference applied by this State. In determining whether a bidder or offeror qualifies as a resident bidder or offeror, the definition used by the other state in applying a preference shall apply. (b) The policy board shall adopt rules to implement this section. (c) This section shall not apply to any transaction if the provisions of the section conflict with any federal laws.
