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." It introduces a new definition for "public works," expanding its scope to include any public works projects performed for any municipality, city, town, or any quasi-municipal public entity, as well as the State of Rhode Island and any quasi-state public entity. This change aims to clarify the types of projects that fall under the public works category. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
