Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to study the effects of coastal and ocean acidification on commercially harvested and grown species along the Massachusetts coast. The commission will identify the actual and potential effects of acidification on these species, the scientific data and knowledge gaps that may hinder the state's ability to respond, and prioritize strategies to fill those gaps. The commission will consist of 19 members, including state legislators, environmental and industry representatives, and scientists. The commission is required to review existing literature, conduct public hearings, and coordinate with regional networks to prevent duplication. It must submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the state legislature by February 1, 2019.
