The bill mandates the Department of Revenue to provide an annual report on grants awarded to qualified low-income taxpayer clinics (LITC) as outlined in Section 13 of Chapter 14 of the General Laws. This report will include specific data such as the number of grant applications received, the number of applications rejected, the estimated number of taxpayers served, and the geographic locations of the LITCs. The report is to be aligned with the FY2025 budget language for the appropriation account 1201-0122.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the average grant size per LITC will be $125,000. This structured reporting aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the distribution of funds to support low-income taxpayer clinics, ensuring that they effectively serve the communities in which they operate.
