Bill Summary

Relative to abandoned vessels on certain state property. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 91 of the General Laws, specifically Section 43A, to clarify the process for dealing with abandoned vessels or unauthorized structures found in the tide waters or on the shores of the Commonwealth. The Department, which refers to the relevant state agency responsible for environmental and natural resources, will be empowered to remove such items if they are abandoned or unlawfully present. After removal, the Department can then pursue legal claim for title to the vessel or structure, following established procedures outlined in sections 40 to 43 of the General Laws. This change aims to streamline the management of abandoned or unauthorized items on state property, particularly in coastal areas.
