Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the definition of fraud in public construction bid laws. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to clarify the definition of "fraud" in public construction bid laws in Massachusetts. It amends several sections of state law to define "fraud" as a statement, act, or omission relating to a material fact that (i) has the natural tendency to be relied upon or influence the average person, (ii) is knowingly false or misleading or in reckless disregard of its truth or falsity, and (iii) is intended to mislead, regardless of whether it is actually relied upon. This is intended to provide a clear, consistent standard for identifying and addressing fraudulent behavior in the public bidding process for construction projects.
