AI Summary
This bill establishes a state expenditure growth limit based on the level of growth of inflation and population in the Commonwealth. It requires that any excess state tax revenue over state expenditures be refunded to taxpayers, and that state expenditures be reduced to match state tax revenues if expenditures exceed revenues. The bill also allows taxable inhabitants to petition the courts to enforce its provisions and recover legal fees if successful. Additionally, it repeals Chapter 62F of the General Laws, which previously governed the taxpayers' bill of rights.
