Adopted rule summary:

This Procurement Policy Board Rule (PPB) amendment updates the provisions of the PPB Rules relating to subscription purchasing to account for modern technologies and changes in industry practices.
This rule amendment streamlines the process for agencies to purchase physical and electronic subscriptions, by clarifying and broadening the definition of subscriptions, thereby allowing agencies to purchase necessary books, periodicals, training, and training materials outside of the procedures set forth in the PPB Rules.
