The bill amends Chapter 37-2 of the General Laws, which pertains to "State Purchases," by introducing new definitions and modifying existing ones to clarify state procurement processes. Notable additions include the definition of "Child care declaration statement," a form that bidders must complete when contracting with the state. The bill also redefines terms such as "Change order," "Chief purchasing officer," "Construction," and "Contract," among others, to streamline procurement procedures. It includes insertions of new language and deletions of outdated terms to keep the law current.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the roles of a "Construction manager at-risk" and an "Owner’s program manager," detailing their qualifications and restrictions. It expands the duties of the chief purchasing officer, including the promotion of child care policies through the child care declaration statement. The bill also revises competitive sealed bidding procedures and introduces a preference for bidders with child care policies for certain contracts. It mandates the creation of the Child Care Declaration Statement for businesses to declare their child care policy status, aiming to incentivize the support of child care benefits for employees. Definitions related to various employment practices and child care benefits are also included, with the intent to give preference to businesses with child care policies in state contracting. The bill will take effect upon passage.
