Bill Summary

Relative to the penalties imposed for failure to provide complete information in public bids and offers. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts law to impose penalties for failure to provide truthful and complete information in public bids and offers. The bill also applies these penalties to public agencies that circumvent the state's bid and procurement laws by performing public construction work through a "force account" practice, which allows them to avoid the competitive bidding process. However, the penalties would not apply to emergency construction and repairs under $100,000 that address immediate threats to public health and safety.
