AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 40 of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow cities and towns to increase the fine for handicap parking violations by $50. The additional $50 would be deposited into a special municipal account to be used solely for funding and implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on public property and in public buildings within the city or town. The city or town's commission on disabilities or a special commission would be responsible for investigating the needs and using the funds for ADA compliance.
