AI Summary

This bill amends the second paragraph of Section 3 of Chapter 40A of the Massachusetts General Laws to specify that for the purposes of the zoning law, the use of land or structures for educational purposes owned or leased by the University of Massachusetts Building Authority must have education as the primary use of the facility, and not just an incidental use. This clarifies the zoning requirements for educational facilities operated by the University of Massachusetts.
