The bill amends Section 37-13-1 of the General Laws in Chapter 37-13, which pertains to "Labor and Payment of Debts by Contractors." The amendment expands the definition of "public works" to include any public work performed for any municipality, city, town, or quasi-municipal public entity, as well as the State of Rhode Island and any quasi-state public entity. This change broadens the scope of public works projects covered under the law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
