AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws related to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). The key provisions include: 1) Increasing the number of figures used in certain sections of the law from 1 to 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 2) Inserting a new section that prohibits the MSBA from denying an eligible applicant's invitation to apply for a school facilities grant solely due to the age of the system in need of repair. The MSBA may consider the age as a factor when reviewing and prioritizing applications, but cannot reject an application solely based on the system's age, and may prioritize the repair of older systems.
