AI Summary

This bill aims to implement fair revenue sharing among all cities and towns in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "additional assistance," "municipal cost," "municipal gap," and "municipal revenue raising capacity." The bill requires the Secretary of Administration and Finance to calculate the municipal gap for each municipality and make the underlying data and calculations available to the legislature.
