An Act establishing the climate resilient capital task force

This bill establishes a Climate Resilient Capital Task Force to study how Massachusetts can maintain government operations during severe climate events. The 17-member group includes representatives from the Governor, legislature, emergency management agencies, and various organizations, and must begin work by September 2023. Their primary task is to evaluate the costs of protecting current state facilities in Boston versus relocating offices to safer areas, specifically analyzing potential damage from rising sea levels and extreme storms. The task force is authorized to accept funds and set its own internal rules while members receive compensation for their service.
