AI Summary

This bill aims to expand access to commuter transit benefits offered by employers. It requires all employers in Massachusetts with at least 50 employees to offer a pre-tax transportation fringe benefit to their non-unionized employees, allowing them to deduct eligible commuting expenses from their gross income. The bill also directs the Department of Revenue to launch a public awareness campaign and provide model materials to help employers comply with the new requirement. Violators face fines, and the bill provides a process for employees to confidentially report non-compliant employers.
