AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE COMMISSIONER OF CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE TO CONVEY CERTAIN LAND TO THE FOXBOROUGH HOUSING AUTHORITY.
Whereas , The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith to authorize a conveyance of land from the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance to the Foxborough Housing Authority, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

The use of the parcel shall be restricted to the development of affordable housing.
The parcel shall be conveyed by release deed in its existing condition without warranties or representations by the commonwealth.
