An Act relative to recreation on private tidelands

This bill amends a Massachusetts law defining private tidelands (coastal areas between high and low tide on privately owned land) by adding "recreation" to the list of permitted uses and explicitly defining "Recreation" as land use for relaxation, exercise, watersports, or enjoyable pastimes. It directly affects property owners and users of private tidelands by clarifying that recreational activities are explicitly included under the law's permitted purposes. The bill makes no new policy changes or restrictions - it solely updates definitions to include recreation within existing legal frameworks for private tidelands. This is a purely definitional update with no impact on current access rights or regulations.
