AI Summary

This bill aims to stabilize community institutions in Massachusetts by providing a "Right of First Refusal" to individuals who are members or affiliates of an organization that is viewed as a community institution when it decides to dissolve or dispose of substantial property. The bill defines a "Community Institution" as a building or structure that is iconic to the community and has provided significant educational, cultural, or religious services. The bill establishes a process for appointing a Special Community Trustee to facilitate the transition and continuation of the community institution's programs and properties in a stabilizing manner, preferring reasonable offers from the community institution's membership. The overall goal is to protect and preserve important community institutions during times of change.
