Establishes rules for maintaining private roads, beaches, and amenities in Massachusetts.
The bill amends Chapter 84 of the General Laws to clarify the maintenance obligations for private roads, bridges, beaches, and other amenities in Massachusetts. It defines terms such as "proprietor," "rightful occupant," and "common amenity." The bill allows property owners and occupants to form associations to manage these private amenities, including setting maintenance fees and bylaws. These associations can sue and be sued, and they must act fairly towards their members.
