AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Town of Winchester to establish a building permit surcharge and a special revenue fund called the Sustainability Special Revenue Fund.

The funds collected from the surcharge would be deposited into the special revenue fund, which can only be used, with Town Meeting approval, to support the Town's environmental sustainability efforts, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, procuring renewable energy, and hiring a sustainability coordinator.
