Bill overview
This bill proposed a tax credit for landowners who conserve land in Massachusetts. The credit would have been available to those who undertake conservation efforts on their property, such as protecting forests or wetlands. Supporters argued it would incentivize landowners to preserve natural resources, while opponents raised concerns about the cost to taxpayers. Ultimately, the bill failed to pass.
