Bill Summary
For legislation to require that fiscal notes be attached to legislation providing unfunded mandates on municipal governments. Ways and Means.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any legislation considered by the Massachusetts General Court that would impose an unfunded mandate on municipal governments must include a fiscal note or study explaining the cost of the mandate. If the legislation would result in a cost to any city or town, the General Court must refrain from enacting the legislation until an appropriation satisfying that cost is provided. An unfunded mandate is defined as a requirement imposed by the state that results in additional costs for municipal governments, such as the cost of additional staff necessary to administer or implement the legislation.
