AI Summary
This bill amends Section 31A of chapter 7 of the General Laws to expand eligibility for awards for cost-saving suggestions to include any resident of the Commonwealth, not just government officers and employees. It also establishes a new provision that any award given to a successful suggestion will be equal to one percent of the expected cost reduction to state government, with a maximum award of $10,000. This aims to incentivize broader public participation in identifying ways to make government operations more efficient and less expensive.
