AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Revenue in Massachusetts to review its rules and regulations at least once every five years. The commissioner of the Department of Revenue must evaluate the need, clarity, and relevance of the regulations using specific criteria, such as the scope and intent of the statutory authority, the benefits and costs to the Commonwealth, the burden on taxpayers, the impact of cumulative regulations, and the appearance of duplicative regulations. The commissioner must then report the findings and recommendations, along with any proposed regulatory or legislative changes, to the governor, relevant legislative committees, and the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means by December 31 of each year a report is due.
