AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the functioning of various boards and commissions in Massachusetts. It proposes to establish the Office of Boards and Commissions within the Executive Office for Administration and Finance to help fill appointments and maintain complete membership in over 700 boards and commissions across the state. The bill requires the creation of a general registry of available volunteer board and commission members, with regular publicity and recruitment efforts to identify qualified individuals, including candidates for elected public office. It also mandates an annual survey of existing board and commission members to gauge their continued interest and collect ideas for effective member recruitment. Additionally, the bill allows for a nominal stipend to be paid to members of boards and commissions that meet at least every three months and are involved in the licensure or conduct of professional activities, employment, or activities.
