Bill > S1910

This bill establishes a pilot program in Massachusetts to test the viability and efficacy of a universal basic income program. The program would provide a monthly income to at least 1,500 randomly selected residents, ensuring that their total monthly income is at least equal to a living wage based on factors like household size. The bill requires the program to solicit philanthropic funding to supplement state funds and operate for at least 5 years. An advisory committee of experts would be convened to help calculate the living income and measure the program's impact on factors like public health, workforce participation, education, and criminal justice.
