AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 30A of the Massachusetts General Laws to require state agencies to notify and consult with the Local Government Advisory Committee, the Division of Local Mandates, and the Department of Housing and Community Development before taking certain administrative actions. Specifically, the bill requires agencies to provide notice and seek input on proposed actions that could have a significant financial impact on municipalities, such as requiring them to expand existing services, hire additional personnel, or increase local expenditures. The bill establishes a process for reviewing and discussing the potential impacts of such actions, with the goal of ensuring that the interests of local governments are considered before state-level decisions are made.
