HD 1327 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act requiring a waiting period for new taxes

This bill (HD 1327) requires a 3-month waiting period before any new tax can be collected after legislation creating that tax is passed. It directly affects all new taxes established by state law, including those proposed in bills or amendments. The key provision states that no new tax may be collected, assessed, or payable until 90 days after the bill creating it becomes law. This delays implementation but does not change tax rates or create new taxes. The bill applies to all new tax measures, not existing ones.
