H 896 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the Quabbin Watershed Advisory Committee

This bill amends the laws governing the Quabbin Watershed Advisory Committee to change its membership structure. Specifically, it removes a word that previously linked two existing member organizations and adds the Belchertown Snowmobile Association of Massachusetts as a new member. The change directly affects the committee's composition by allowing the snowmobile club to participate in its activities. This legislative update ensures the association has a formal role within the group that advises on watershed management.
