AI Summary
This bill amends existing Massachusetts state laws to expand the public bidding requirements to include projects that are procured through or administered by "quasi-public agencies." Quasi-public agencies are defined as legally separate from the Commonwealth but receive state or federal grants or have authority to issue bonds. The bill requires that all contracts for projects that receive public benefits, such as through a quasi-public agency, a tax credit, or a public grant, must comply with the public bidding requirements and be posted on COMMBUYS, the state's public procurement website, in order to promote transparency and achieve the best value for Massachusetts taxpayers.
