AI Summary
This bill establishes a specific procedure for the town of East Bridgewater to accept subdivision roads that have been approved and constructed according to the state's subdivision control law. It requires the board of selectmen to hold a public hearing, with proper notice to abutting property owners, to determine if it is in the public interest to accept the road. If the board votes to accept the road, it must then seek approval from a two-thirds majority vote at the next town meeting. Once approved, the town will record an order of acceptance that will transfer ownership of the road and associated easements to the town.
