AI Summary

This bill aims to establish easements for certain lots created for Native American Indians in specific Massachusetts locations, including Chappaquiddick, Dudley, Gay Head, Herring Pond, and Mashpee. It grants the Superior Court jurisdiction to create 40-foot wide easements over public lands, including land held by any land bank, to provide vehicular access and underground utilities to these lots. If public lands are not available, the Court can create new 40-foot wide easements to the nearest public way, ensuring the lots have sufficient frontage, width, grades, and construction to support residential use and public safety, as well as the installation of underground utilities.
