MassachusettsBill would remove provisions from a law about Lowell property
The proposal would delete Sections 2 and 6 from a 2002 Lowell property law and remove a reference to Section 2's purposes.
What it does
The proposal would delete a purpose reference and two whole sections from a 2002 law about Lowell property. It would take effect upon passage.
Argument forDeleting the purpose reference could prevent confusion by ensuring the property law no longer points to a section also being deleted.
Argument againstDeleting whole sections could remove useful rules for the property, depending on what those sections require.
More detail
The proposal would delete the reference to Section 2's purposes from Section 1 and delete Sections 2 and 6 entirely. These provisions concern Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2002, a law about property in Lowell. The bill does not identify the property or explain the sections marked for deletion. The proposal says the act would take effect upon passage.
