AI Summary

This bill amends a specific section of Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 23A, section 3I, which outlines a matching grant program for "rail-trail" construction. Rail-trails are typically former railway lines converted into multi-use paths for walking, biking, and other recreational activities. The key provision of this bill is to expand eligibility for these matching grants to include nonprofit organizations, in addition to municipalities (cities and towns), allowing these organizations to also receive state funding to develop and maintain rail-trail projects.
