AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to extend the statute of repose for certain tort actions related to deficiencies or neglect in the design, planning, construction, or administration of improvements to real property. Specifically, it would increase the time limit from 6 years to 10 years for actions against both public and private entities. Additionally, the bill would require that any extension of a statute of repose or limitations related to filing claims under a state or local building code must enlarge the opportunity for individuals to raise timely claims or file complaints against contractors.
