Bill > H753

This bill amends Section 35 of Chapter 91 of the General Laws to ensure that public trust rights are preserved in land affected by ocean erosion, specifically addressing situations where sea level rise, storms, or other natural processes cause a barrier beach to move onto land that was previously part of a Great Pond (a natural pond or lake in Massachusetts) or other public land. The key provision is that any portion of a barrier beach that moves onto such public land will remain in public ownership, thereby protecting public access and use of these areas.
