AI Summary

This bill proposes to impose an annual excise tax of 2.5% on the endowment funds of private institutions of higher education that have an endowment over $1 billion. The revenue collected from this tax would be deposited into the "Educational Opportunity for All Trust Fund," which would be used to subsidize the cost of higher education, early education, and child care for lower-income and middle-class residents of Massachusetts. The fund would be managed by a 7-member board of trustees, including representatives from the Departments of Higher Education and Early Education and Care, as well as members with expertise in higher education, early education and child care, and the child care workforce.
