AI Summary
This bill aims to implement the recommendations of the foundation budget review commission in Massachusetts. It updates the definitions of "Assumed in-school special education enrollment" and "Assumed tuitioned-out special education enrollment" in the state's education funding formula, and it revises the definition of "Foundation benefits" to include additional costs related to employee health insurance and other staff-related expenses. The bill also requires the Secretary of Administration and Finance and the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means to jointly determine an implementation schedule to phase in these changes over a period of 7 fiscal years, with the goal of fully funding the revised foundation budget by fiscal year 2024.
