An Act to support disaster response and broadband infrastructure affordability

Summary

The bill rewrites state law so that businesses and workers from outside Massachusetts that come in to repair or build critical infrastructure after a declared disaster are not required to register, pay income or other business taxes, or obtain licenses during the response period. It still requires them to pay transaction taxes such as fuel or sales tax on goods they use, and they must follow normal tax and licensing rules once the disaster response period ends. The changes are meant to speed up recovery of essential services, including broadband.
