Massachusetts H3152 prohibits state agencies from hiring auditors on a contingency fee basis.

Massachusetts H3152 aims to eliminate contingency fee auditors by prohibiting state agencies, including the Department of Revenue and the State Treasurer, from hiring auditors on a contingency fee basis. This means auditors cannot be compensated based on the amount of tax, interest, or penalty assessed against a taxpayer. The bill also prevents state agencies from employing tax experts on a contingency fee basis. The prohibition applies to contracts and employment agreements entered into after July 1, 2026, and existing contracts cannot be renewed.
