AI Summary

This bill establishes a special legislative commission to study the barriers faced by low-income workers in finding and maintaining jobs in the Commonwealth of 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, relevant laws and regulations, and holistic and wraparound service approaches that could prevent a fragmented response. The commission is required to file its recommendations, including any necessary legislative or regulatory drafts, with the relevant legislative committees by July 1, 2022.
