AI Summary
This bill aims to promote the employment of local residents in public works projects estimated to cost more than $5 million in Massachusetts. The bill requires general bidders, sub-bidders, general contractors, and sub-contractors to make a good faith effort to hire or contract with qualified and responsible individuals, of whom at least 15% must reside within a 20-mile radius of the project's physical location. This is intended to ensure that local communities benefit from the economic activity generated by these large public works projects.
