An Act establishing a commission to study the financial relationship between Massachusetts entities and companies owned by the Chinese government

HD 1415 establishes a special commission to study financial ties between Massachusetts entities (including businesses, schools, government agencies, and universities) and Chinese state-owned companies. The commission will identify assets held by these Chinese entities, assess how their operations impact local industries, and evaluate risks to Massachusetts' economic wellbeing and sovereignty. Composed of legislative leaders, state agency heads, and industry representatives, the commission must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the legislature by December 31, 2027. The bill does not impose new restrictions but directs a comprehensive study of existing financial relationships.
