AI Summary

This bill aims to provide a framework for stabilizing community institutions in Massachusetts. It grants members of a community institution the "Right of First Refusal" when the institution decides to dissolve or dispose of substantial property. The bill defines a community institution as an iconic building or structure that has provided significant community services, such as a school, library, or church. When a community institution is facing dissolution, the bill allows for the appointment of a neutral "Special Community Trustee" to facilitate the transition and explore alternative uses for the property, with a preference for reasonable offers from the institution's members. The goal is to encourage the preservation of these important community assets and ensure a stable transition during times of change.
