Bill > H3359

This bill modifies Section 4 of Chapter 7C of Massachusetts General Laws to place new restrictions on building projects involving public-private agreements managed by the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance. Specifically, the bill requires that such projects must be subject to local zoning ordinances, which typically regulate land use, building size, placement, and other development characteristics. Additionally, the bill prohibits the division from approving any building project under a public-private agreement if that project would result in the issuance of a bond, which is a form of debt financing. These provisions effectively limit the division's ability to undertake certain development projects by imposing local zoning compliance and preventing projects that would require bond financing, potentially giving local municipalities more control over state-level development initiatives.
