AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to exempt the Group Insurance Commission from the requirement to keep certain procurement information confidential. Specifically, the bill removes the exception that normally applies to proposals and bids received by the Group Insurance Commission, thereby making that information subject to public disclosure. This change aims to increase transparency in the Group Insurance Commission's procurement processes.
