AI Summary
This bill proposes a legislative amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution that would require a supermajority vote (more than a simple majority) to utilize the state's "rainy day" fund, which is a reserve of funds set aside for emergencies or economic downturns. The goal of this amendment is to make it more difficult for the state government to access and spend these rainy day funds without significant legislative support.
