AI Summary

This bill amends Section 10 of Chapter 40A of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It changes the time period during which the rights authorized by a variance must be exercised before they lapse. The bill states that if the rights authorized by a variance are not exercised within one year of the date of grant, they will lapse. However, the permit granting authority can extend this time period by up to six months upon written application by the grantee, as long as the application is filed before the original one-year period expires. If the permit granting authority does not grant the extension within 30 days, the rights may be reestablished only after a new notice and hearing process.
