AI Summary
This bill allows employee organizations representing public sector workers in Massachusetts to adopt a salary escalator equivalent to the previous year's Consumer Price Index (CPI) if their collective bargaining agreement has been extended through an "evergreen clause" for more than one year. The provisions of the bill only apply to municipalities in Massachusetts upon an affirmative vote by the city council or board of selectmen, providing local control over the implementation of this policy.
