    On the printed bill, delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

"    Section 1. That chapter 5-18B be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

    If an invitation for a bid for airport improvements states that the requirement the bid be awarded within thirty days has been waived, the provisions of subdivision 5-18A-5(7) and § 5-18B-9 do not apply. If the bid award time exceeds thirty days, any bid may be withdrawn by the bidder without jeopardizing the bid bond. This section only applies to any improvement project that relies on federal funding from the federal aviation administration."
