AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure equity and fairness in the distribution of Community Preservation Funds, which are public funds used by municipalities and regional governments for various community development projects. The key provision of the bill is to amend the existing law to prioritize funding for cities and towns that have received a lifetime average total percent distribution more than 10% less than the average lifetime average total percent distribution of all participating communities. This change is intended to address disparities in the distribution of these funds and promote more equitable access to community preservation resources.
