AI Summary
This bill proposes the establishment of a pilot program by the Department of Housing and Community Development to demonstrate the individual, family, and community economic impacts and state-level cost savings of a universal basic income. The pilot program will include 100 participants residing in each of three economically diverse cities or towns, with at least one being a rural community. Each participant will receive $1,000 per month for three years and agree to fully participate in the study and analysis plan. The department is required to file a report within one year of the conclusion of the pilot program, which will include socio-demographic information of the participants, data on how the participants allocated the monthly stipend, an analysis of cost-benefit and cost savings, considerations on how universal basic income could address inequalities, recommendations on implementing a statewide universal basic income program, and draft legislation to implement the recommended program.
