AI Summary

This bill aims to promote civic engagement in setting the income tax rate. It proposes amending the General Laws of Massachusetts to require that the Part B taxable income tax rate of more than 5.3% must be approved through the initiative petition process outlined in the state's constitution. This would give citizens a direct say in setting the income tax rate beyond the current 5.3% threshold.
