Bill overview
This bill, H.3136, proposed to establish a process for Massachusetts public schools to negotiate payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) with out-of-state educational entities that own land within the state. The goal was to provide a mechanism for these schools to contribute financially to local property tax revenues, similar to how traditional public schools operate. The bill was ultimately unsuccessful and failed to pass the legislature. It was subject to hearings and study orders during its consideration.
