AI Summary
This bill authorizes and directs the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing a "fairness rule" that would provide a more equitable distribution of nonprofit group homes throughout Massachusetts. The study would include reviewing the current number and location of group homes, analyzing the ratio of existing group homes to population for each municipality, and examining the economic factors of the neighborhoods where the group homes are currently located. The goal is to consider developing a formula or guidelines to ensure an equitable distribution of such group homes based on population and neighborhood economic composition. The department must report the results of the study and its recommendations to the legislature by July 1, 2020.
