Bill Summary

Relative to housing developments in communities with a population less than 30,000 persons. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to exempt towns with a population less than 30,000 from the rules and restrictions currently applicable under Chapter 40B, which governs affordable housing development in Massachusetts. It states that these smaller communities shall not be compelled or forced by the Commonwealth to accept any Chapter 40B or similar housing projects unless the project receives a 70% favorable vote from the registered voters. Additionally, any proposed 40B projects in towns or cities with less than 30,000 population would be held in "suspension or abeyance" until the legislature decides on this proposed legislation.
