Bill > H3336

This bill requires the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), a state agency responsible for water and wastewater services in the greater Boston metropolitan area, to be subject to the provisions of Chapter 296 of the Acts of 1993. While the full details of Chapter 296 are not provided in this bill text, the bill's government summary suggests it relates to privatization contracts, indicating that the legislation is likely establishing or clarifying rules about how the MWRA can engage with private contractors or potentially outsource certain services. By specifying that this applies "notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary," the bill appears to be creating a specific legal exception or clarification that would override any conflicting existing laws, ensuring that the MWRA follows the specific guidelines outlined in Chapter 296 of the 1993 Acts.
