AI Summary

This bill aims to restore accountability in claims against certain non-governmental entities for damage caused by public way defects. The key provision of the bill is to amend the existing law (Chapter 84, Section 18 of the General Laws) to remove the failure to give notice as a defense in an action against a private corporation or other non-governmental person or entity, except as provided in Section 21. This change is intended to hold these non-governmental entities more accountable for damages caused by defects in public ways, even if the injured party did not provide the required notice.
