AI Summary

This bill aims to address excessive executive compensation by imposing an additional 2% tax on the net income of financial institutions and publicly-held corporations whose "compensation ratio" (the ratio of the CEO or highest-paid employee's compensation to the median employee compensation) exceeds 100. The bill defines "compensation ratio" and amends chapters 63 and 39 of the Massachusetts General Laws to implement this new tax provision, which would apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.
