An Act relative to the open meeting law

This bill modifies Massachusetts open meeting laws to protect the privacy of construction bidders during the public agency selection process. It requires agencies to create rules preventing one bidder from seeing or hearing interviews with other competitors for the same contract, whether the meetings happen in person or online. Additionally, the law mandates that any written or video records from these interviews remain confidential until every bidder has finished their presentation. These changes aim to ensure fair competition by preventing bidders from gaining an advantage through early knowledge of others' proposals.
