Bill Summary

For legislation to remove certain uniform procurement law solid waste and recycling exemptions. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. (Corrected 12/3/19)

AI Summary

This bill aims to remove the exemption that allows municipalities to avoid the public procurement process when contracting for solid waste and recycling services. Currently, municipalities can bypass the competitive bidding requirements under Chapter 30B of the General Laws, even though these services can cost millions of dollars. By eliminating this exemption, the bill seeks to provide cost savings to cities and towns by fostering more competition among vendors and ensuring that municipalities consider alternative service providers, rather than automatically renewing contracts with their existing vendors.
