AI Summary

This bill aims to amend Chapter 164 of the General Laws by adding a new section that prohibits the construction of natural gas generating facilities within one mile of certain designated areas, including environmental justice communities, playgrounds, day-care centers, schools, churches, areas of critical environmental concern, and residential housing. However, the bill exempts repairs or replacements that do not increase the megawatts generated in any generating facility already in operation prior to January 1, 2017.
