AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 30A of the General Laws to require state agencies to notify the Local Government Advisory Committee, the Division of Local Mandates, and the Department of Housing and Community Development at least 14 calendar days prior to initiating any administrative action that would place additional expenditure, procedural, or organizational requirements on local governments or limit the discretionary powers of local officials. The agencies must convene a meeting with these entities to discuss the potential significant impact of the proposed action, which is defined as requiring municipalities to significantly expand existing services, employ additional personnel, alter administrative and work procedures, realign organizational structures, increase non-reimbursed disbursements, or limit local officials' discretion. This process aims to ensure transparency and consideration of the financial impacts on cities and towns due to state regulatory changes.
