Bill > S1667

This bill aims to give the Commonwealth more flexibility in how it handles public contracts by changing existing laws. Specifically, it modifies Section 54 of Chapter 7 of the General Laws, first by changing a monetary threshold from "five" to "25," which likely refers to a dollar amount related to contract limits or reporting requirements, and second, by requiring agencies to create a detailed written estimate of the actual costs if their own regular employees were to provide the services in question, rather than relying on external contractors.
