Bill Summary

Relative to exempting cities and towns from fees from the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and Response Act. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 3B of Chapter 21E of the General Laws, which pertains to the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and Response Act, by adding language to exclude counties, cities, and towns from certain provisions. Specifically, it inserts the words "counties, cities, towns and" after the word "excluding" in the existing law, meaning these governmental entities will no longer be subject to whatever was previously excluded. Furthermore, Section 2 of the bill states that any fees owed by counties, cities, and towns under this act before this bill becomes law will be waived, providing retroactive relief for these municipalities.
