An Act increasing fairness in distribution of local aid generated by the state lottery
This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Revenue to study how state lottery money is currently shared among towns and cities. The study will examine factors like how much revenue each area generates, the income levels of residents, and the financial needs of local schools. A team will work with other state agencies to gather this data and look for ways to make the distribution more fair. The department must submit a report with its findings and suggestions by December 1, 2024, for review by lawmakers and the public.
