AI Summary

This bill aims to stabilize community institutions in Massachusetts by providing a right of first refusal to members of a community institution when the institution decides to dissolve or dispose of substantial property. The bill defines a community institution as a building or organization that has held significant community services, such as a school, library, or church. It allows individuals in good standing with the institution to request the appointment of a neutral Special Community Trustee to facilitate the continued use or alternative use of the institution's property. The Trustee is required to prefer reasonable offers from the community institution's membership, as long as the funding and economic viability of the offer is verified.
