AI Summary

This bill amends Section 21 of Chapter 40B of the General Laws to expand the definition of the term "low and moderate income housing" to include water or sewer infrastructure. It also allows municipalities to deny applications to build low and moderate income housing units using a comprehensive permit if municipal water and sewer infrastructure is not available. Additionally, the bill prohibits the approval of applications that rely on the use of private water and wastewater infrastructure that is not subject to the Safe Drinking Water Act, unless the infrastructure is subject to mandated periodic testing.
