An Act relative to economic development in the commonwealth
This bill is currently in a procedural stage where the House and Senate have disagreed on changes to a law regarding economic development in the commonwealth. Because the two chambers could not agree on the Senate's proposed amendments, a special committee has been formed to negotiate a compromise version of the text. The bill itself has not yet been finalized, so its specific rules or direct effects on businesses and residents remain pending until the conference committee reaches an agreement.
