H 2764 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the timely and consistent payment of law enforcement personnel

This bill requires public works project authorities to directly pay law enforcement agencies for police details assigned to projects, rather than including these costs in contractor bids. It mandates that authorities maintain police detail records, receive invoices directly from law enforcement providers, and make payments themselves. The bill explicitly states that police detail costs must not be part of any bid submitted by contractors for public works projects. This change applies to all public works projects under Chapter 30 of the General Laws, affecting project authorities and law enforcement agencies providing security services.
