Bill Summary

Relative to the placement of new overhead transmission lines. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to prohibit the placement of new overhead transmission lines where residential properties are within the fall zone of such towers and wires. The "fall zone" refers to the area around the transmission towers and lines that could potentially be affected if they were to collapse or fall. This change aims to address concerns about the safety and potential impacts on residential areas when new overhead transmission infrastructure is installed.
