Bill Summary

For legislation to provide federal and state budget information to residents of the commonwealth. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Massachusetts state treasurer, in coordination with the secretary of the commonwealth, to provide an annual summary to Massachusetts resident taxpayers by March 15th. The summary will report the total amount of income tax paid by Massachusetts residents to the federal government in the prior year, along with the percentage of those funds allocated to various federal discretionary budget categories such as housing, education, healthcare, and defense. The summary will also include information on how Massachusetts' own state budget was allocated in the prior fiscal year, including the contribution of federal funds, across similar categories. The information may be obtained from a nonpartisan third-party organization that regularly compiles such data.
