Bill Summary
For legislation to further define fraud in public construction contracts. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to further define fraud in public construction contracts. It amends the existing law by clarifying the definition of "fraud" in the context of construction project bids. Specifically, the bill states that fraud refers to a statement, act, or omission related to a material fact of significant importance to the construction project that is knowingly false or misleading, or made with reckless disregard for its truth or falsity, and is intended to mislead and has been shown by clear and convincing evidence to have done so. This change to the law is intended to provide a more detailed and specific understanding of what constitutes fraudulent behavior in the context of public construction contracts.
