An Act relative to historic homes

This bill defines "historic home" as properties listed in Massachusetts' State Register of Historic Places or marked with a plaque under specific state laws. It prohibits willfully damaging such homes - including removing materials like copper gutters, breaking walls, or defacing features - and imposes penalties of fines ($100-$1,000) or up to two years in jail. Convicted individuals must also reimburse homeowners for all damage costs. The law directly affects owners of designated historic properties and anyone who intentionally harms them. It creates new criminal penalties for specific acts of damage to existing protected properties, without altering the criteria for historic designation.
