cycle. This carry over allowance is effective one time only.
- Commencing with qualified purchasing agent (QPA) license renewals due by December

- increasing from 20 to 25 the total number of CEU contact hours a QPA must
earn during a license renewal cycle; and

"procurement procedures" category from two (2) to five (5).
- Creating a new optional continuing education category for QPAs on compliance with
public works contracting laws.
