On November 20, 2024, Governor Healy signed the Permit Extension Act of 2024 (the “PEA”) into law as part of the Mass Leads Act. Effective immediately, the PEA extends the term of a wide array of permits and approvals in effect or existence between January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2025, for two years in addition to the lawful term of the approval; and provides a “freeze” on local ordinances or bylaws for projects covered by an approval in effect during the two-year tolling period.
