Relative to corporate taxes. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to rename corporate tax credits, tax incentives, and TIFFs (Tax Increment Financing) to "Corporate Welfare" in order to more accurately reflect their effects and raise awareness of the state of corporate tax credit evaluation in Massachusetts. The bill highlights that the economic benefits of these corporate tax credits do not trickle down to citizens as much as they benefit the corporations receiving them, and it calls for a body to research and assess the effectiveness of these credits in promoting economic growth and job creation in a fiscally efficient manner.
