AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce atmospheric pollution by amending Section 31c of Chapter 111 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The key provisions of the bill include: allowing the board of health or other legal authority to impose a local surcharge on commercial parking spaces and/or cap the number of such spaces available in a city or town, with the ability to vary the surcharge rate based on the number of spaces dedicated to zero-emission vehicles. All funds derived from these surcharges will be used solely for air pollution abatement and improvements in transportation infrastructure. The bill will take effect upon its passage.
