AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study the efficacy of funding the construction of public safety buildings through the sales tax. The commission will consist of members from the state legislature, the Commissioner of Public Safety, the Commissioner of Revenue, the Director of the Department of Labor Relations, and representatives from the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association and the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts. The commission will review the efficacy of the Massachusetts School Building Authority's dedicated revenue stream from the sales tax and compare the needs of constructing or renovating public safety buildings with the goals and purposes of the Massachusetts School Building Authority. The commission will then recommend a percentage of the sales tax to be dedicated to funding the construction of public safety buildings and provide reasons for such recommendation.
