AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study and make recommendations on the implementation of two-generation systems in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A two-generation approach is an anti-poverty strategy that aims to reduce chronic, multi-generational family poverty by addressing the needs of both vulnerable parents and children simultaneously. The commission will consist of various state officials and representatives from community-based organizations, research institutions, and other stakeholders. The commission's responsibilities include identifying best practices, establishing a two-generational school/employment readiness plan, studying and recommending ways to maximize existing state resources, developing recommendations to measure and evaluate progress, and identifying a sustainable funding source for two-generation approaches. The commission is required to report its findings and any necessary legislation to the General Court within 365 days of the bill's effective date.
