An Act relative to commuter transit benefits
This bill amends Massachusetts tax law to expand the list of transit passes that qualify for commuter benefits. It directly affects employees and employers by allowing them to exclude the value of specific new transit passes from taxable income. The key provision adds three new categories of transit passes to the existing list of eligible items. This change means workers can receive these specific passes as a tax-free benefit without increasing their taxable wages.
