Bill Summary
Relative to further defining fraud in public construction contracts. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill further defines fraud in the context of public construction contracts. Specifically, it amends the existing law to clarify that the term "fraud" refers to a statement, act, or omission related to a material fact that is knowingly false or misleading, or recklessly disregards its truth or falsity, and is intended to mislead, as demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence. This change aims to provide a more precise legal standard for determining fraudulent behavior in the bidding and contracting process for public construction projects.
