HB 7917: An Act Amending Republic Act No. 12009, Otherwise Known as the "New Government Procurement Act"

In plain language

The proposal tightens procurement rules by expanding the definition of who controls a company, forbidding elected or appointed officials and their close relatives (up to the fourth civil degree) from taking part in any government purchase, and making bidders sign an affidavit that they have no such relationships; violations can result in disqualification and other penalties.
