Bill Summary

For legislation to increase transparency in public construction. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 8B of Chapter 81 of the General Laws to modify how public construction-related documents are handled. Specifically, it changes the status of applications for certificates of eligibility and update statements, declaring them public records under the definition in Section 7 of Chapter 4, with one important exception: financial information contained within these applications will remain confidential and not be considered a public record. This modification aims to increase transparency in public construction processes while still protecting sensitive financial details. The bill essentially allows broader access to construction-related documentation, enabling more public oversight, but ensures that specific financial data remains protected from public disclosure.
