Bill > H2983

This bill proposes to expand the membership of the Massachusetts Port Authority Community Advisory Committee, which serves as an advisory board to the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), a state agency responsible for operating Logan International Airport and other transportation facilities. Specifically, the bill adds the city of Lynn and the towns of Marblehead and Swampscott as voting members to this committee, alongside existing members from various other cities and towns, including Boston which has a larger representation. The members of the committee are appointed by the chief executive officer of their respective communities, meaning the mayor in cities or the chairman of the board of selectmen or town council president in towns, and are required to have expertise in areas such as airport operations, environmental affairs, labor relations, public health, or port operations.
