AI Summary
This bill amends Section 1 of Chapter 21 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which pertains to the duties of the Department of Environmental Management. Specifically, it inserts the phrase "reclamation of land after surface mining has concluded operations" after the word "development," clarifying that the department's responsibilities now explicitly include overseeing the process of restoring land after surface mining activities have ended. This addition aims to ensure that environmental restoration is a recognized and mandated part of the department's oversight following mining operations.
