An Act relative to public construction certification
This bill updates the rules for certifying contractors who want to bid on public construction projects in Massachusetts. It requires the state division to review an applicant's work history over a ten-year period instead of the previous five-year window. Additionally, the law mandates that the division must adjust the minimum bid amounts for recertification annually to account for inflation. These changes directly affect construction companies seeking to maintain their eligibility to work on government projects.
