Bill Summary

Relative to authorizing the committee on Housing to make an investigation and study of certain House documents concerning Chapter 40B

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts House of Representatives Committee on Housing to investigate and study various House documents related to Chapter 40B, the state's affordable housing law. The committee is tasked with reporting back to the General Court (the state legislature) by December 31, 2018, with the results of its investigation, any recommendations, and any proposed legislation necessary to implement those recommendations. Chapter 40B is an important law that allows developers to bypass certain local zoning restrictions to build affordable housing in communities that have not met the state's affordable housing requirements.
