An Act relative to taxes and fee transparency

This bill requires the Senate and House Ways and Means committees to hold at least three public hearings before considering any legislation that introduces, raises, or expands taxes and fees. The committees must provide 14 days of public notice for these hearings and ensure they take place in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield to gather input from different parts of the state. By mandating these specific steps, the law aims to increase transparency in the tax-making process and allow more citizens to participate in discussions about fiscal policy.
