Bill Summary
Relative to the expungement of racially restrictive covenants in recorded real property documents. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow for the expungement of racially restrictive covenants from recorded real property documents. Specifically, it enables a person holding an interest in real property or a party affected by a void racially restrictive provision to petition the Land Court to order the removal of such language from the appropriate record or instrument. This provides a legal mechanism for eliminating remnants of discriminatory housing policies from property records.
