H 586 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to public preschool facilities

This bill amends the definition of "capital construction project" in Massachusetts law to explicitly include public preschool facilities. It ensures that building, enlarging, or equipping public preschools, as well as renovating existing structures for preschool use, are treated as capital projects. This change directly affects how public preschool facilities are funded and classified within the state's education infrastructure. By updating the legal definition, the bill aligns preschool construction with other schoolhouse projects under existing capital project guidelines.
