AI Summary

This bill aims to support military personnel and their families by establishing the Massachusetts Military Family Relief Fund, an expendable trust that will provide financial assistance to members of the Massachusetts National Guard and Massachusetts residents who are members of the U.S. armed forces reserves and were called to active duty after September 11, 2001, as well as their families. The bill outlines the administration of the fund, including the procurement and awarding of grants to qualified non-profit organizations, and requires annual reporting on the fund's expenditures and assistance provided. It also addresses the transition of the fund's administration in the event the awarded organizations lose their charitable status or cease to exist.
