Bill > S1193

This bill aims to expand access to commuter transit benefits offered by employers. It requires all Massachusetts employers with at least 50 employees to offer a pre-tax transportation fringe benefit to their non-union employees, which allows them to pay for certain commuting expenses, such as public transportation or vanpool costs, with pre-tax dollars. The bill also imposes fines on non-compliant employers and directs the Department of Revenue to conduct a public awareness campaign and provide model materials to notify employees about the available benefits. The provisions related to fines will take effect one year after the bill is passed.
