Bill Summary
For legislation to define fraud in public construction bid laws. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to define the term "fraud" in public construction bid laws in Massachusetts. It amends various sections of the state's General Laws to specify that a bid must be "bona fide, fair and made without collusion with any person" and contain "no intentional material misrepresentations, omissions or false statements." The bill also adds a definition of "fraud" to the relevant laws, stating that it refers to a knowingly false or misleading statement or omission related to a material fact that is intended to mislead, regardless of whether it is actually relied upon. Additionally, the bill allows for appeals of prequalification committee decisions only on the grounds of intentional material misrepresentations, omissions, or false statements, or collusion.
