Relative to climate resiliency protection projects. Environment and Natural Resources.

AI Summary

This bill aims to facilitate climate resiliency projects in Massachusetts. It amends the state's environmental laws to allow the Department of Environmental Protection to issue a general license for any publicly beneficial climate resiliency project designated by a local conservation commission, selectmen, or mayor. The bill also exempts these climate resiliency projects from the requirement to minimize or mitigate the loss of resource areas, and allows them to be eligible for a general permit similar to the one available for ecological restoration projects.
