An Act relative to community preservation funds for coastal infrastructure

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require coastal communities that adopt its provisions to dedicate at least 10% of their community preservation funds toward specific coastal infrastructure projects. The funds must be used for beach nourishment, dune restoration, and seawall maintenance or reconstruction. It directly affects coastal municipalities that choose to implement this requirement by altering how they allocate their existing preservation funds. The change modifies Section 6 of Chapter 44B of the General Laws, adding the new funding allocation language after "housing" in the existing text.
