AI Summary

This bill authorizes the University of Massachusetts Medical School to enter into learning contracts with certain students, requiring them to provide at least 4 years of payback service within the Commonwealth in areas of primary care, public or community service, or underserved areas. The Commonwealth will bear the cost of these learning contracts, and if a student does not perform the required payback service, the difference between the tuition paid and the regular tuition amount, plus 8% interest, must be repaid to the medical school, which will then remit the repayment to the Commonwealth. The chancellor of the medical school is required to provide an annual report on the number of students participating in these learning contracts, the areas of medicine in which payback is performed, the effects on underserved areas, the number of students utilizing the repayment option, and the aggregate tuition that would have been received without the learning contracts.
