SECTION 2. Section 103D-304, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (g) to read as follows:
"(g) The selection committee shall rank a minimum
of three persons based on the selection criteria in subsection (e) and
send the ranking to the head of the purchasing agency[.]; provided that
with respect to engineering, architectural, surveying, or landscape architectural
professional services for state or county contracts under this section, the selection
