AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts to allow the use of the Highway Fund to convert private ways to public ways. Specifically, it would authorize the inclusion of the total mileage of private ways shown on an official map adopted by a city under chapter 41, section 81E of the General Laws, in the calculation of a city's total mileage of public ways, so long as the additional funds generated by this inclusion are used solely for the purpose of converting those private ways to public streets.
