AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Capital Projects Fund, which will be funded by revenue generated from leasing or licensing air rights over MBTA parking spaces, lots, or other transportation facilities. The bill allows the MBTA to authorize up to $50 million annually in tax credits for qualified developments of these air rights. The tax credits can be claimed against state taxes in a single year and can be carried forward for up to 5 years if the credit exceeds the taxpayer's annual tax liability. The bill also requires the MBTA to report annually on the fund's revenue sources, amounts, and expenditures.
