Bill > S2710

This bill creates a special legislative commission to study barriers to job retention for low-income workers in Massachusetts. The 18-member commission will examine issues such as barriers that prevent low-income workers from finding and retaining jobs with sustainable wages, strategies the Commonwealth could employ to address these barriers, and programs or approaches the Commonwealth could explore to provide holistic support. The commission is required to file its recommendations, including any necessary legislative or regulatory changes, with the legislature by March 1, 2022.
