AI Summary

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to establish a pilot program to demonstrate the individual, family, and community economic impacts and state-level cost savings of a universal basic income. The pilot would provide $1,000 per month for three years to 100 participants in each of three economically diverse cities or towns, at least one of which would be a rural community. The Department would then submit a report analyzing the socio-demographic information of the participants, how they allocated the monthly stipend, potential cost savings from a universal basic income program, and recommendations for implementing a statewide program.
