AI Summary
This bill establishes Community Benefit Districts (CBDs) in Massachusetts. A CBD is a district with clearly defined boundaries that can be formed by a petition of property owners. The CBD corporation, a nonprofit organization, oversees the implementation of the district's management plan, which outlines supplemental services and programs beyond the standard government services provided by the municipality. The bill sets out the process for establishing, amending, and dissolving a CBD, including public hearings and voting requirements. It also details how the CBD will be funded through assessments on property owners, with exceptions and waivers for certain properties. The bill allows for noncontiguous geographic areas within a CBD and for CBDs to span multiple municipalities.
