An Act relative to acceptance of the Massachusetts Community Preservation Act

This bill allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to join the Community Preservation Act by having their voters approve it at the next regular election rather than following the previous administrative process. It also establishes a requirement that every ten years, residents must vote on whether to continue participating in the program, giving communities the ability to opt out if they choose. The law directly affects local municipalities and their residents by changing how they can join and remain part of this funding initiative for historic preservation, open space, and affordable housing.
