An Act expanding pleasure boat access to Boston Harbor

HD 564 requires Boston-area public agencies (like the City of Boston and MassPort) to create short-term mooring and docking facilities for pleasure boats in Boston Harbor. It directs these agencies to solicit proposals for public facilities, potentially partner with private entities, and charge reasonable market-rate fees for access. The bill mandates annual reports to specific committees on public mooring locations, including inner harbor sites and seasonal facilities. This directly affects public agencies responsible for harbor property and pleasure boat owners seeking convenient, short-term docking access.
