An Act to reinforce municipal territory authority

This bill clarifies that Cohasset's authority over its own territorial waters is limited to the town's boundaries and does not extend to other municipalities' waters. It amends a 1953 law by removing the phrase "within the territorial limits of the commonwealth" and replacing it with "within the sole limits of Cohasset's authority over its own territorial waters." The change specifically affects Cohasset's jurisdiction regarding coastal waters and ensures municipal authority does not overlap with neighboring towns. It is a technical clarification of existing law, not a new policy.
