For legislation relative to partition fences. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Massachusetts General Laws concerning partition fences, which are fences that divide the property of two or more owners. Specifically, it adds a new paragraph to Section 3 of Chapter 49, stating that if one property owner keeps livestock or poultry (farm animals) within an enclosure, and the adjoining property owner does not, the owner with the animals will be responsible for the entire cost of maintaining the shared partition fence. This responsibility applies unless both property owners agree to a different arrangement.
