AI Summary

This bill aims to revitalize the right of free petition in Massachusetts. It proposes the creation of a special committee or commission to educate the public on the availability and process of filing legislative proposals, such as bills, resolves, resolutions, and constitutional amendments, under the state's right of free petition. The committee would hold public hearings across the state to gather input, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth would publish and disseminate information on how to exercise this right. The goal is to encourage more individuals to bring forward ideas and proposals for the benefit of the government and society.
