AI Summary

This bill, concerning the Middlesex Canal Commission, aims to facilitate the restoration of the Middlesex Canal National Register Heritage District for public access, recreation, and education. It proposes to exempt former properties and structures of the original Canal Company, located within the canal's original boundaries, from the requirements of the Wetlands Protection Act and the Waterfront Protection Act. This exemption means that the Middlesex Canal Commission will not need to file a Notice of Intent with local communities when undertaking restoration work on these specific historical sites, acknowledging the canal's historical significance, as noted by Albert Gallatin in 1909 and its designation as a National Register Archaeological and Historic District.
