An Act relative to municipal light plant emergency mutual aid
This bill amends Massachusetts law to support municipal light plants during emergencies. It allows these community-owned utilities to sell, rent, or lease equipment (like generators or tools) used for emergency mutual aid - when one town helps another during power outages. It also ensures employees providing this emergency assistance receive the same workers' compensation coverage and benefits as if they were working on regular utility duties. The changes directly affect municipal light plants and their workers participating in mutual aid efforts across towns.
