S 137 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act limiting time period parking lots can remain open

This bill restricts how long parking lots can remain open for events held at large entertainment venues in Massachusetts. It specifically applies to venues with seating for 30,000 or more people that are subcontracted for a single event, excluding schools and universities. Under the new rule, parking access would be limited to a two-hour window before the event starts and a two-hour window after it ends. This change aims to reduce the time these parking areas are available for use during subcontracted events.
