AI Summary

This bill establishes a pilot program in Massachusetts to test the viability and efficacy of a universal basic income. The program will provide a monthly income to at least 1,500 randomly selected residents that is at least equal to a living wage, with the difference between their current income and the living wage being provided by the state. The program will seek philanthropic funding to supplement state funds and operate for at least 5 years. An advisory committee will be convened to advise on the calculation of the living income and the creation of a research program to measure the well-being of participants and the impact on the state, including cost, public health outcomes, workforce and educational outcomes, and criminal justice outcomes.
