Massachusetts H3117 aims to support disaster response and broadband infrastructure affordability by exempting out-of-state businesses and employees from certain taxes during disaster response periods. The bill defines a disaster response period as beginning ten days before a governor's or president's declaration of a disaster or emergency and extending sixty days after the end of the declaration. Out-of-state businesses and employees performing disaster-related work during this period are exempt from state and local taxes, including income, sales, and use taxes.
