Bill > S2122

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.
