Bill Summary
Relative to municipal authority regarding foreclosures. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies and expands the authority of municipalities in Massachusetts to enact laws regarding foreclosures. It amends the state's laws to explicitly allow municipalities to require a cash surety for properties identified as vacant or controlled by a foreclosing entity, and to enact laws to minimize foreclosures, ensure the safety and security of residents, prevent unnecessary displacement and post-foreclosure evictions and vacancies, and ensure the upkeep of vacant properties and those in foreclosure, unless such authority is explicitly denied by state law.
