AI Summary

This bill, by amending Chapter 91 of the General Laws, directs the director of the Division of Waterways, which is part of the department of environmental quality engineering, to dredge a natural channel located between the Squantum Yacht Club and the Wollaston Yacht Club in Quincy Bay. This dredging is significant because the channel is designated by the United States Coast Guard as an emergency route for evacuations and is also used for quickly transporting accident victims from Quincy Bay to medical facilities.
