AI Summary

This bill allows cities and towns to borrow money from the Commonwealth, which is the state government, at no interest, meaning they won't have to pay back any extra money beyond what they borrow. This borrowed money is specifically for studying or developing "green energy sources of power," which refers to renewable and environmentally friendly ways to generate electricity, such as solar or wind power, within those municipalities. This provision is an addition to Chapter 44 of the General Laws, which likely deals with municipal finance.
