AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate the issuance of certificates of organization to corporations and limited liability companies in Massachusetts. It requires the state secretary to review all necessary licensure documents, including criminal offender records of all employees, before approving a certificate of organization. The bill also establishes a council within the state secretary's office to investigate and hold public hearings on certificate applications, with the council having the authority to approve or disapprove the certificates. If a certificate is disapproved, the applicant can appeal to the superior court. Additionally, the bill allows the state secretary to raise application fees to offset the administrative costs of this new process.
