An Act permitting the town of Wakefield to convey an easement to the Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department

This bill (HD 4162) authorizes the town of Wakefield to grant an easement to its own municipal utility department, the Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department. The easement would legally permit the utility to use specific land within Wakefield for infrastructure like gas lines or electrical equipment. It directly affects Wakefield's local government and its utility operations, allowing the department to maintain and expand its service infrastructure. The bill requires local approval from Wakefield town officials, as noted in the petition.
