Bill Summary

Relative to indigenous representation on the Martha’s Vineyard Commission. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law that established the Martha's Vineyard Commission, a regional planning and regulatory agency. The key change is to replace the provision that allows the Governor to appoint one member of the Cabinet or their designee to the Commission, and instead requires the appointment of one representative of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah. This change aims to ensure indigenous representation on the Martha's Vineyard Commission, which is responsible for managing land use and development on the island.
