For legislation relative to community preservation funds for seawall repairs. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 6 of Chapter 44B of the General Laws to allow coastal communities that adopt the provisions of the act to use not less than 10% of their community preservation funds for the preservation of public infrastructure through beach nourishment, dune restoration, and seawall maintenance and reconstruction. This provides coastal communities with the ability to use a portion of their community preservation funds to help maintain and repair their seawalls, which can be important for protecting against coastal flooding and erosion.
