AI Summary

This bill authorizes the city of New Bedford to convey a parcel of land currently used as a municipal golf course, which was acquired for open space and playground purposes. In exchange, the city will convey a conservation restriction on approximately 156 acres of land owned by the city in the town of Dartmouth, which is currently used as a rifle range. The conservation restriction will be held by the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust, Inc. The active rifle range will be allowed to continue operating, and the portion of the land subject to the conservation restriction may be open to the public for passive recreation, with certain public safety considerations. If the rifle range ceases to be used, the land subject to the conservation restriction will be open to the public for passive recreation.
