Bill Summary

Relative to liability for damages caused by blasting. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 20C of Chapter 148 of the General Laws, which deals with liability for damages caused by blasting operations, by adding "or compaction operation" after "blasting operation," meaning that individuals or entities conducting compaction operations, which involve using heavy machinery to compress soil or other materials, will now be held liable for any damages they cause, similar to how those conducting blasting operations are already held responsible.
