AI Summary

This bill aims to protect scenic rivers in Massachusetts by requiring individuals to obtain a building permit from the scenic river commission before constructing any building within 1,000 feet of a scenic river. The bill defines "scenic river" as a river included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and "scenic river commission" as the commission established to manage the scenic river or, if there is no commission, the state Department of Environmental Protection. The bill also requires the Department to promulgate regulations to implement this new law.
