The bill titled "An Act relative to the purchase or lease of certain property known as Fenn Farm in the town of Stockbridge" seeks to facilitate the acquisition of a 372.550-acre undeveloped land known as Fenn Farm by the Stockbridge-Munsee Community of the Mohican Nation. It declares the act as an emergency law, emphasizing the necessity for immediate action to preserve public convenience.
To enable this purchase or lease, the bill stipulates that, notwithstanding existing laws, no conservation restrictions will be required as a condition for receiving state funds for this transaction. This provision overrides section 11 of chapter 21N of the General Laws and any other conflicting laws or regulations, thereby streamlining the process for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community to acquire the property.
