SD 559 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act ensuring affordability in perpetuity

This bill requires all low or moderate income housing built under a comprehensive permit to remain affordable permanently, rather than for a limited period. It directly affects developers and housing authorities using Chapter 40B's comprehensive permitting process for such projects. The key provision (added as Section 21A) mandates that affordability restrictions apply "in perpetuity" for these units. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026.
