Bill > H2132

This bill establishes a special 9-member task force to study commission sales rates in Massachusetts, with the goal of ensuring fairness, transparency, and equality for commissioned workers. The task force will include legislative leaders from both parties, representatives from the Workforce Development Board and Attorney General's office, and three additional members appointed by the Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development. The task force's specific responsibilities include reviewing existing state laws related to commission sales rates, identifying labor sectors that could benefit from rate improvements, conducting a survey of companies employing commission-based workers, and developing recommendations for legislative procedures to regulate commission rate income. The group is required to submit a comprehensive report, including proposed legislation and regulations, to the state legislature within 12 months of the bill's passage. This initiative aims to better understand and potentially improve the compensation structure for commission-based employees across various industries in Massachusetts.
