Bill Summary
For legislation to grant a compliance extension for certain MBTA adjacent communities. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill provides a two-year compliance extension for certain municipalities classified as "Adjacent Communities" or "Adjacent Small Towns" that do not have direct access to Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) services. Specifically, the bill amends Section 3A of Chapter 40A of the General Laws to allow these communities additional time to meet existing requirements. The term "Adjacent Communities" likely refers to towns or cities near MBTA transit routes, and the extension recognizes that these particular municipalities without direct transit service may need more time to implement certain regulatory or planning obligations. By granting this two-year extension from the act's effective date, the legislation provides these communities with additional flexibility to align with existing legal requirements, acknowledging potential challenges they may face in meeting compliance deadlines.
