Bill Summary
That the town of Plymouth be authorized to establish a special revenue account for land acquisition. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Plymouth to create a special revenue account called the Land Acquisition Fund, which can be used to purchase land for recreation, open space, and other municipal purposes. Despite existing state laws that might otherwise restrict such an account, Plymouth will now be able to deposit specific types of land-related revenue into this fund, including monies received from land conversion or use change under chapters 61, 61A, and 61B of Massachusetts General Laws. Any interest earned on the fund will remain within the account and can be used for future land acquisitions. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, providing the town with a new financial tool for strategic land management and preservation.
