An Act to support higher education infrastructure

This bill creates a dedicated trust fund to support the modernization and reconstruction of public higher education facilities in Massachusetts. It achieves this by allocating 1% of sales and use tax revenue specifically for the state's public higher education facilities authority. The funds in this trust will be used exclusively to pay for facility upgrades, debt service, and other capital needs without requiring additional annual appropriations from the general budget. Additionally, the bill ensures that the tax rates funding this initiative cannot be lowered as long as any outstanding bonds or notes are still being repaid.
