AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Section 81U of Chapter 41 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It proposes that in any city or town that has accepted the provisions of this paragraph, when a planning board approves or disapproves a definitive subdivision plan, the board must send a notice of such approval or disapproval to all persons they were required to give the initial notice of the public hearing. The notice must inform these individuals of their right to appeal and the deadline for filing such an appeal. Additionally, if a petitioner seeks approval due to the planning board's failure to act within the prescribed timeframe, the petitioner must notify the city or town clerk in writing within 14 days of the approval period expiration, and the clerk must then notify all persons who received the initial public hearing notice, specifying that any appeals must be filed within 20 days of the clerk receiving the petitioner's notice.
