Enterprises shall be furnished written instructions and |
information on how to register on each Procurement Bulletin |
maintained by the State. Such information shall be provided to |
each business within 30 days after the business' notice of |
certification. The applicable chief procurement officer
may |
provide by rule an organized format for the publication of this
|

subsequent Bulletin. The applicable chief procurement officer |
|
may provide by rule an organized format for the publication of |
this information, but in any case it must include at least all |
of the information specified in subsection (a) as well as the |
