AI Summary
This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 40R of the General Laws to state that a smart growth zoning district or starter home zoning district ordinance or by-law shall be adopted, amended, or repealed by a simple majority vote of the town council, city council, or town meeting, rather than requiring a supermajority vote. The purpose of this change is to make it easier for municipalities to implement smart growth and starter home zoning policies, which are designed to increase the production of affordable housing.
