An Act establishing a special commission to identify, preserve and commemorate historic roadways in Massachusetts

This bill establishes a special commission to identify, preserve, and commemorate historic roadways across Massachusetts. The commission includes 10 members: legislative leaders, transportation and historical agency representatives, municipal and planning organization advocates, and a Governor-appointed history expert. It will study historic roadways and develop preservation and commemoration strategies, reporting its findings and any legislative recommendations to the Senate and House clerks by December 31, 2026. The bill directly affects Massachusetts' historical preservation efforts and roadways, but does not enact new laws or funding.
