An Act to study a revenue neutral guaranteed jobs program

This bill establishes a commission to study how Massachusetts can better connect unemployed workers with available job openings without increasing state spending. The commission will include representatives from both legislative chambers, labor and industry leaders, and the governor to examine current methods used by the Department of Transitional Assistance and the Department of Unemployment Assistance. Within 12 months, the group must submit a report containing findings, recommendations, and potential new laws or regulations to improve job matching while maintaining fiscal neutrality.
