Bill Summary

Relative to the building or rebuilding of bridges on certain land that falls under the jurisdiction of more than one municipality. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to establish a process for municipalities to enter into inter-municipal agreements for the construction or rebuilding of bridges that fall under the jurisdiction of more than one municipality. The key provisions require that affected municipalities negotiate and approve an inter-municipal agreement that addresses issues such as buffer zones, alternative options, cost-benefit analysis, infrastructure needs, and the impact on nearby communities. Once the agreement is approved by the legislative bodies and chief executives of the municipalities, it must be approved by the state legislature and governor before the construction project can begin.
