AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 79A of the General Laws to require property owners to bear the cost of relocation assistance provided by public agencies when displacing persons to enforce the state sanitary code or building code. The bill states that public agencies must provide relocation assistance and payments to cover the actual reasonable documented expenses of moving personal property, unless such payment is already provided. The property owner must pay the public agency for these relocation costs upon presentation of a statement, and the unpaid balance will constitute a lien on the property if not paid within 10 days.
