AI Summary

This bill aims to address challenges related to the use of rural zip codes and state revenue calculations. It requires the Department of Revenue to use the 68-volume Harbor and Lands Commission Town Boundary Atlas, maintained by the Department of Transportation, for accurately determining city and town boundaries in the Commonwealth when establishing, developing, assessing, and reporting on state and local taxes and revenue collections. Additionally, the bill mandates that within one year of passage, the Department shall no longer use United States postal zip codes as the primary source for determining city and town boundaries, and shall instead assess, report, and update records pertaining to mailing addresses, making this information available to cities, towns, and appropriate state offices, departments, and agencies.
