Bill > S1538

This bill allows individuals filing Massachusetts income tax returns to voluntarily contribute to the Massachusetts Fire Fighters Academy Trust Fund. Taxpayers can choose to donate all or part of their tax refund or add an extra amount to their tax payment to support this trust, which is established to benefit the fire academy. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Revenue will design the tax forms to clearly indicate this donation option, ensuring taxpayers are aware they can contribute. The total amount collected through these voluntary contributions will be reported annually to the State Treasurer and then credited to the Massachusetts Fire Fighters Academy Trust.
