AI Summary

This bill establishes the Homelessness Prevention and Reduction Fund, to be funded by a 0.25% tax on the gross receipts of business entities in Massachusetts, with an exemption on the first $50 million of gross receipts. The revenue from this tax will be used to administer the fund, provide refunds for overpayments, and support programs that prevent and reduce homelessness, such as rental assistance, construction of housing units, and supportive services.
