Resolve establishing a special commission to study and make recommendations relative to Chapter 40B

This bill creates a nine-member special commission to evaluate Massachusetts' comprehensive permit law, which is designed to help build affordable housing. The commission will include state officials and legislative leaders, and it must hold at least 14 public hearings across all counties to gather feedback from residents. After reviewing the law's history, impact on local planning, and public testimony, the group will submit a report by December 2025 with recommendations for any necessary changes to improve affordable housing outcomes.
