An Act relative to land acquisition

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require state agencies to publish a public notice in the Central Register at least 30 days before acquiring land through eminent domain, gift, or inheritance. The provision directly affects the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and any other state agency authorized to take land for public use. By mandating advance public notification, the legislation aims to increase transparency in land acquisition processes. This change does not alter the authority to acquire land but adds a procedural step to inform the public of such intentions.
