AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent nonprofit institutions from using the so-called "Dover Amendment" to avoid compliance with wetlands or natural resource protections. The bill proposes amending the General Laws to clarify that such protections can still be applied to land or structures used for religious or educational purposes, despite the Dover Amendment's provision that generally restricts zoning restrictions on these types of properties.
