AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Works Progress Administration (MWPA) within the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. The MWPA will receive and select work project proposals from state agencies and other organizations that meet certain criteria, such as creating multiple jobs at an affordable rate and providing economic or environmental benefits. The approved projects may include activities like contact tracing, climate change resilience, enhancing the creative economy, agriculture, and infrastructure. The MWPA will prioritize projects in counties with high unemployment rates and hiring of individuals who have been unemployed for at least 60 days, particularly those from communities disproportionately affected by high unemployment. The bill also outlines reporting and auditing requirements for the MWPA.
