HD 4259 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the use of certain fairground properties

This bill prevents local zoning rules from banning or restricting land used for agricultural fairs operated by nonprofit organizations. It specifically protects properties owned and managed by such nonprofits for their fair-related activities, ensuring zoning laws cannot interfere with these events. The law applies only to nonprofit corporations whose primary purpose is organizing agricultural fairs. This change takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
