An Act extending the boundaries of the Adams Fire District

This bill expands the Adams Fire District in Massachusetts to cover the entire area of the Town of Adams. By making the district's boundaries match the town's limits, the legislation ensures that all residents within the town have access to the district's fire protection services. Additionally, the act establishes that water service requests outside the district's current water system areas require approval from district voters and must follow specific construction rules. The law takes effect immediately upon passing, directly affecting the town's governance and fire safety infrastructure.
