Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize municipal use of the prudent investor standards. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes municipalities and regional governments to manage their trust funds using the "prudent investor" standards outlined in the Massachusetts Prudent Investor Act, rather than the more restrictive investment rules in the current law. The bill allows municipalities to pool and invest their trust funds in accordance with the prudent investor standards, unless the terms of a specific bequest, trust, or other instrument expressly state a different investment approach.
