Bill Summary

For legislation to extend the lifespan of permits held at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill extends the lifespan of certain regulatory approvals, such as permits, licenses, and certifications, that were in effect during the COVID-19 pandemic (from March 10, 2020 to March 10, 2021) by an additional 2 years. The bill defines "approval" broadly to include various types of permits and determinations from state, regional, and local government entities related to the use or development of real property. However, the extension does not apply to approvals issued by the federal government, certain approvals related to wildlife and energy resources, or approvals issued by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation or Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The bill also includes provisions to address the availability of sewer system capacity and the transfer of property or projects where an approval has been extended.
