AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend Section 9 of Chapter 161A of the General Laws to ensure more fairness in the assessments that cities and towns hosting at least one MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) station must pay. Specifically, the bill states that no such city or town shall be assessed with a weighted percentage less than that of any of the 51 cities and towns that contribute to the MBTA's funding. This aims to address potential imbalances in the assessment process and ensure a more equitable financial contribution from all localities served by the MBTA's transportation network.
