AI Summary

This bill establishes a Massachusetts Flood Risk Protection Program to acquire properties that are or are projected to be repeatedly or substantially damaged by floods. The program will cover the acquisition of property from willing owners, structure demolition, relocation of impacted property owners, and coastal, floodplain, and wetland restoration. The program is voluntary and prioritizes properties owned by low-income individuals and those located in environmental justice populations. Acquired properties will be conserved as open space for conservation and recreation purposes. The bill also requires the development of statewide flood risk assessments and standards, and the creation of a Flood Risk Protection Program Trust Fund to finance the program.
