SD 53 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to promote public payroll transparency

This bill requires quasi-government agencies - like public transit systems, water providers, and pension managers - to publicly share employee compensation data and audit results. It defines these agencies as government-supported entities with operational independence. Specifically, agencies must submit pay details to the comptroller, who will post it on the state's open checkbook website. Additionally, state auditors must publish all agency audits online. The law directly affects these specific service-providing corporations, not general government employees or the public.
