An Act creating a municipal and public safety building authority
This bill creates the Massachusetts Municipal and Public Safety Building Authority and a dedicated trust fund financed by 33% of the state's marijuana sales tax revenue. The authority will use these funds to help cities and towns build or improve public safety buildings (like police stations and fire stations) and municipal facilities (such as town halls and public works offices). The state treasurer will hold the fund and disburse money to the authority without requiring annual legislative approval. This provides a stable, long-term funding source for local infrastructure projects.
