Bill overview
This bill proposed the creation of a commission to investigate the impact of ‘unfunded mandates’ on Massachusetts municipalities. Unfunded mandates are requirements imposed on local governments by the state that do not come with sufficient state funding. The commission would study these mandates, analyze their effects, and make recommendations for addressing the challenges they pose to local communities. Ultimately, the bill failed to pass.
