AI Summary

This bill amends existing law, specifically Section 13 of chapter 55 of the general laws, to allow certain Commonwealth employees to solicit political contributions from their colleagues. This is permitted when the contributions are for a political committee established by the employees' exclusive representative, which is an organization that legally represents employees in collective bargaining under chapter 150E of the general laws, and the committee's goal is to improve the employees' terms and conditions of employment, such as wages and working hours.
