HD 1836 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to regulation of privatization contracts

This bill amends a definition in Massachusetts law to clarify that agreements solely for legal or management consulting services do not count as "privatization contracts." It directly affects government agencies and contractors by narrowing the scope of contracts subject to specific privatization regulations. The key change removes consulting service agreements from the legal definition, preventing them from being classified under the same regulatory framework as broader privatization deals. This is a technical clarification to the existing law, not a new policy.
