Bill Summary

For legislation to insure affordable housing in perpetuity

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 40B of the General Laws, a Massachusetts law that allows for the streamlined approval of affordable housing projects, by adding a new section that requires all low or moderate income housing built under a "comprehensive permit" – a special permit that allows developers to bypass some local zoning regulations in exchange for including affordable units – to remain affordable permanently, or "in perpetuity." The bill also specifies that this change will take effect on July 1, 2012.
