Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill allows the state to transfer a 6.927-acre parcel of land in Norton, currently used for wildlife management, to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. In exchange, the Department of Transportation must get federal approval and transfer about 7.5 acres of its own land along the Canoe River to the Department of Fish and Game for conservation. The Department of Transportation will also be responsible for all costs related to these land transfers and must provide public access to the new conservation land.
