An Act relative to exemptions from MBTA community designations
This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, Section 3A, to exempt communities without rail, subway, or ferry stations from certain requirements. It directly affects towns and cities lacking MBTA transit infrastructure, relieving them from compliance with the referenced section. The key provision adds a specific exemption clause to the law, stating such communities "shall have to comply with this section" no longer applies. This is a procedural change to clarify eligibility for community designations tied to MBTA transit access.
