Bill > S2210

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would require a two-thirds supermajority vote in each branch of the Massachusetts General Court (the state legislature) to appropriate and expend funds from the state's Stabilization Fund, also known as the "rainy day fund." The Stabilization Fund is a reserve account that can be used to help balance the state's budget during economic downturns. The proposed amendment aims to make it more difficult to access these rainy day funds by requiring a stronger legislative consensus before they can be utilized.
