AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of "public works" to include projects undertaken for any city, town, or quasi-municipal entity, as well as for the state and any quasi-state entity, meaning that a broader range of government-funded construction and improvement projects will now fall under this designation. Quasi-municipal and quasi-state entities are organizations that have some governmental powers but are not directly part of the main state or local government structure. This change will take effect immediately upon its passage.
