Bill > H2906

This bill proposes to amend Section 31A of Chapter 7 of the General Laws, which deals with the Suggestions Awards Board within the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, to allow for financial awards to be given to any resident of the Commonwealth, not just government officers and employees, for suggestions that reduce the cost of state government. Specifically, the bill inserts a provision that the award amount will be equal to one percent of the expected cost reduction to state government, with a maximum award of ten thousand dollars. This initiative aims to encourage broader public participation in identifying and implementing cost-saving measures within the government.
