AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Coronavirus Recovery Corps, which will be administered by the Massachusetts Service Alliance. The Corps will deploy service members to support organizations addressing challenges posed by COVID-19, including access to health services, disaster preparedness and response, and workforce development. The Corps will focus on addressing health disparities for racial and ethnic populations, supporting disaster response efforts, and connecting unemployed and underemployed residents to job training and employment opportunities. The Corps will exist until its mission is deemed complete during the COVID-19 recovery period, or up to three years after the governor's state of emergency declaration is lifted, whichever is sooner. The bill also requires a study on the effectiveness and utility of the Corps, and potential need for a similar program during future pandemics or emergency scenarios.
