Bill Summary

For legislation to provide federal and state budget information to residents of the commonwealth, reports the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2828).

AI Summary

This bill requires the Massachusetts state treasurer, in coordination with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, to publish an annual summary on the Secretary's website by March 15th. The summary would include the total amount of income tax paid by Massachusetts residents to the federal government in the prior year, along with the percentage of those dollars allocated to various federal discretionary budget categories, such as housing, education, and defense. The summary would also include information on the Commonwealth's annual budget for the prior fiscal year, detailing the percentage of the budget allocated to different areas, as well as the contribution of federal funds in those categories. The information for the report can be obtained from a nonpartisan, third-party organization that regularly compiles such data.
