AI Summary

This bill establishes a bipartisan Massachusetts Government Assistance task force to address the statewide impacts of the 2018-2019 federal government shutdown. The task force, which includes members from the legislature and executive branch, will analyze the short-term and long-term impacts of the shutdown, develop a rapid response plan to continue services for residents and communities, and identify administrative, policy, and legislative proposals to address the loss of revenue, impacts on federal employees, and loss of federal services. The task force will provide a detailed impact report with action steps by February 1, 2019 and may issue findings and suggest steps, including legislation, at any time during its authority, which will end 30 days after the end of the 2018-2019 federal government shutdown.
