Relative to recreational facilities and zoning. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 40A of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: (1) to specify that for a nonprofit educational corporation to qualify under this section, the primary or dominant use must be for an educational purpose, and (2) to explicitly state that recreational facilities shall not qualify under this section. This aims to clarify the scope of the law and ensure that only educational, not recreational, facilities can benefit from the provisions in this section.
