AI Summary

This bill aims to sustain community preservation revenue by increasing surcharges on certain real estate transactions if the Massachusetts Community Preservation Trust Fund balance is insufficient to provide a 50% first-round match distribution to all cities and towns that have accepted the Community Preservation Act. The bill also expands the types of mortgage filings that are subject to the surcharge to include those from public agencies or quasi-public agencies, such as municipalities or the Massachusetts Housing Partnership. The Commissioner of Revenue is required to notify relevant parties of any surcharge changes at least 60 days in advance.
