Requires the Engineering Division of the Department of Insurance to keep filed copies of all approved national standards, where practical. Effective when the act becomes law.

Appropriates $3,500 from the General Fund to the Division of Purchase and Contract to provide notification to vendors and State agencies. Effective July 1, 2017.
