AI Summary

This bill prohibits members of the Massachusetts General Court (the state legislature) from directly or indirectly receiving or requesting compensation in relation to their duties on the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS), which provides legal representation to individuals who cannot afford an attorney. The CPCS is responsible for overseeing the provision of legal services to indigent clients, and this bill aims to prevent legislators from profiting from their involvement in this process.
