AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "Condition of substantial release migration" in the Massachusetts General Laws related to liability for the release of hazardous materials. It provides a more detailed definition of this term, including specific scenarios that would constitute a condition of substantial release migration. The bill also adds a new definition for "Critical exposure pathways" and includes a provision that shields eligible persons from liability for releases at properties not previously identified as part of a disposal site if the Department of Environmental Protection has audited and approved their response actions.
