Bill Summary
For legislation relative to transparency in private utility construction contracts. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency in private utility construction contracts. It requires gas and electricity distribution companies to inform any responsible bidder within two business days of their decision on contract awards, and to post the winning bid information, including the contractor's name, winning amount, and project location, on their website. The bill also requires companies to provide the criteria and scoring used to award the contract to responsible bidders. The Department of Public Utilities is responsible for enforcing this law and may issue regulations and orders to ensure companies follow these transparency requirements, with some exceptions where information disclosure could impede law enforcement, harm the public interest, or interfere with competition.
