For legislation to dedicate a portion of the stabilization fund to cities and towns. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 2H of chapter 29 of the General Laws by adding a provision that dedicates at least ten percent of the total amount in a specific fund, referred to as the "stabilization fund," for the exclusive purpose of preventing or lessening cuts to local aid distributed to cities and towns. This local aid includes important programs like Chapter 70 educational funding, lottery aid, and additional assistance, and the bill clarifies that these funds can be used for this purpose in addition to other existing provisions.
