Bill overview
This bill would have allowed Massachusetts cities and towns to increase the local tax rate on meals served at restaurants and other food establishments. The proposed increase would have generated additional revenue for local governments, which could have been used to fund various municipal services. The bill was ultimately unsuccessful and failed to pass both the House and Senate. Similar legislation has been proposed in the past.
