AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Secretary of Public Safety, and the City of Boston, through the Commissioner of Police, to enter into an agreement outlining protocols for concurrent public safety jurisdiction on land owned or leased by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) within the city of Boston. The agreement aims to improve the delivery of public safety services for citizens, workers, and visitors on Massport property, without adversely impacting the availability of detail assignments for Massachusetts State Police officers in the Seaport District. If the parties cannot reach an agreement within 120 days, the Attorney General will appoint a special counsel to assist and mediate between the parties, and if an agreement still cannot be reached within 60 days, the special counsel/mediator will issue binding guidelines that will constitute the agreement authorized by this bill.
