Expands pleasure boat access to Boston Harbor by establishing mooring and docking facilities for public use.
The bill mandates state and municipal public agencies and authorities in Boston to identify and establish mooring and docking facilities for pleasure boats, focusing on short-term and seasonal public use. The Massachusetts Port Authority and the Department of Conservation and Recreation are tasked with issuing public Requests for Proposals to facilitate this. The City of Boston can use funds from a specific account to support these efforts, and public agencies may charge reasonable fees for the facilities.
