An Act relative to the MBTA Communities Act

This bill exempts Massachusetts municipalities with an area under two square miles from certain requirements of the MBTA Communities Act. It directly affects small towns, such as some rural or densely developed communities, by removing their obligation to comply with specific zoning and housing provisions. The key mechanism adds a new exemption clause (subsection d) to the existing law, creating a clear size-based exception. This change modifies the law's application without altering the core purpose of the MBTA Communities Act.
