AI Summary
This bill, titled "Promoting community responsibility," amends Chapter 40B of the General Laws to require that any moderate-income residential housing project developed using a "comprehensive permit" must adhere to local zoning regulations. A comprehensive permit is a streamlined approval process that allows developers to bypass some local zoning rules when building affordable housing. This legislation aims to ensure that such projects, even when utilizing this expedited process, still respect the existing zoning laws of the community where they are built, and it is set to take effect on July 1, 2009.
