The bill amends Section 45-55-9 of the General Laws in Chapter 45-55, which pertains to the award of municipal contracts. It increases the maximum allowable amounts for small purchases, raising the limit for construction projects from $10,000 to $25,000, and for all other purchases from $5,000 to $10,000. The act does not include provisions for annual adjustments based on the Boston Regional Consumer Price Index, nor does it address the division of procurement requirements or local ordinances regarding aggregate purchase amounts. The act is set to take effect on December 31, 2025, providing municipalities with updated thresholds for small purchases.
