AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to establish the Smart Growth Housing Trust Fund, which will be used by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the Department of Revenue to make payments to communities under the state's Chapter 40R (Smart Growth Zoning Districts) and Chapter 40S (school cost reimbursements) programs. The fund will be funded through the sale of state surplus lands, revenue received from certain tax provisions, and monetary sanctions imposed by the Department of Housing and Community Development.
