AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of general obligation bonds to fund the installation of athletic fields or playgrounds constructed with crumb rubber on school grounds, municipal parks, or state-owned property. The bill amends two sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to implement this prohibition, including Section 60A of Chapter 29 and Section 11 of Chapter 44B. This legislation aims to prevent the use of taxpayer-funded bonds for the construction of athletic facilities containing crumb rubber, which is a material made from recycled tires and has raised concerns about potential health and environmental impacts.
