AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 242 of the General Laws to allow an abutting neighbor to require the owner of a tree located on the owner's property, but within falling distance of the neighbor's property, to remove the tree or its branches if a licensed arborist determines that the tree is likely to fall and pose a danger to the neighbor's property or well-being. The neighbor must notify the tree owner of the request, and the owner must comply with the removal and bear the full cost.
