AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study and make recommendations on the implementation of "two-generation approaches" in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A two-generation approach is an anti-poverty strategy that aims to address the needs of both vulnerable parents and their children simultaneously, in order to reduce chronic, multi-generational family poverty. The commission will be responsible for identifying best practices, establishing a two-generational school/employment readiness plan, studying and recommending ways to maximize existing state resources, developing recommendations for measuring progress, identifying a sustainable funding source, and establishing a definition of "two-generation approach" for the Commonwealth. The commission will report its findings and any necessary legislative recommendations within 365 days of the bill's effective date.
