HD 738 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act providing for a study relative to the necessity of certain snow safety procedures

HD 738 requires the state public safety office to study whether rooftop snow safety measures - such as marking skylights on large buildings - are necessary to address risks from heavy snow accumulation. The study must assess dangers to building roofs and skylights, costs of implementation, and benefits of visible markers after snowstorms. It mandates a written report with recommendations to the legislature within 180 days of the bill's effective date. This is a procedural study bill with no immediate policy changes, focusing solely on gathering data for potential future action.
