AI Summary
This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 40R of the General Laws to allow a smart growth zoning district or starter home zoning district ordinance or by-law to be adopted, amended, or repealed by a simple majority vote of the town council, city council, or town meeting, rather than requiring a two-thirds vote. This change is intended to make it easier for communities to implement smart growth and starter home zoning initiatives, which are policies designed to encourage the development of more affordable and environmentally-friendly housing.
