AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 40A of the General Laws to allow municipalities to adopt zoning ordinances regulating the location of proposed methadone clinics. If no local requirements exist, the bill establishes a default rule that methadone clinics cannot be sited within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, or any facility where children commonly congregate, such as playgrounds or youth sports facilities. The bill also specifies that methadone clinics cannot use the provisions of Section 3 of Chapter 40A to bypass local zoning requirements. The bill will take effect 90 days after passage.
