AI Summary

This bill proposes certain changes to the laws concerning low and moderate income housing in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends Chapter 40B of the General Laws to provide that a municipality's exemption from the state's affordable housing requirements may be triggered if the number of housing units transferred or sold at a value not exceeding the maximum sale price for a low or moderate income person exceeds 12% of the total number of housing units transferred or sold in the prior calendar year. The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to promulgate rules and regulations governing the application of the existing affordable housing laws, including establishing maximum density limits, minimum percentages of subsidized low and moderate units, provisions for municipalities to receive credit for units in rental voucher programs, and a methodology for determining local and regional housing needs.
