Bill Summary
Relative to limitations on expenditures and revenues. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a new chapter that limits the growth of state expenditures to the rate of inflation plus the state population change. It requires that any excess state tax revenues beyond expenditures be refunded to taxpayers, and that state expenditures be reduced to match state tax revenues if expenditures exceed revenues. The bill also allows 24 or more taxpayers to petition the courts to enforce these provisions, and includes severability clauses. Additionally, the bill repeals Chapter 62F of the General Laws, which previously addressed limitations on expenditures and revenues.
