Resolve regarding revitalizing the right of free petition

This bill establishes a special legislative commission to study ways of informing the public about their right to submit petitions for laws and constitutional changes in Massachusetts. The commission, which would include members from both political parties and independent representatives, is tasked with holding public hearings across the state to gather feedback on improving access to this process. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of the Commonwealth to create and distribute a guide explaining how citizens can exercise their right to file petitions. The committee would serve for an 18-month period to develop recommendations for revitalizing this civic engagement mechanism.
