S 2037 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act establishing a special commission to investigate and study the feasibility of establishing a municipal building financing authority

This bill creates a special commission to study whether Massachusetts should set up a new authority to help cities and towns build or repair public buildings like town halls and police stations. The commission will review existing reports, look for funding options, and explore ways to finance construction projects for facilities such as senior centers and public safety buildings. It will also determine what powers this potential authority would have, such as offering grants or providing technical advice to municipalities. The commission consists of 13 members appointed by state officials and will submit its findings and proposed laws to the legislature by December 31, 2024.
