AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Works Progress Administration (MWPA) within the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. The MWPA's purpose is to receive and select work project proposals from state agencies and other organizations that meet certain criteria, such as creating multiple jobs at affordable rates and providing continuing economic or environmental benefits. The eligible projects can include areas like COVID-19 contact tracing, climate change resilience, the creative economy, agriculture, and infrastructure. The bill also guarantees certain rights to eligible individuals, such as overtime pay and childcare vouchers, and requires the MWPA to provide necessary training. The MWPA is required to submit biannual reports, and the state auditor will conduct annual audits of the program's performance and activities.
