AI Summary
This bill establishes a Special Commission to investigate and make recommendations to the Massachusetts General Court concerning the use of manufactured wood products and lightweight wood frame truss assemblies, and their impact on firefighter deaths and injuries. The investigation will also study the effect these building products have on fire insurance rates in the Commonwealth, whether full disclosure to home buyers about their fire-resistant qualities compared to traditional dimension lumber construction should be mandated, and what steps should be taken to mitigate any problems associated with these products. The Commission will comprise members from the Senate, House of Representatives, the Executive Office of Public Safety, the Massachusetts Fire Chiefs Association, and the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts, and is required to report its findings to the General Court by January 1, 2021.
