An Act relative to the uniform procurement act
This bill amends Massachusetts' Uniform Procurement Act to explicitly include governmental bodies as entities covered under the law. It inserts "or governmental body" after "parties" in the law's definition, clarifying that state and local government agencies must follow the same procurement rules as private entities when purchasing goods or services. The change directly affects government agencies and contractors working with public funds.
