Section 23A. Inclusionary zoning.
A city or town, by vote of its legislative body, may adopt a rule or regulation that every plan for any residential development shall include affordable dwelling units. “Residential development” shall be defined in this section as any development resulting in the creation of new dwelling units of any sort. The required affordable dwelling units shall be at least 10 percent of every residential development. These required dwelling units shall be affordable for a period of at least 99 years to persons whose household income shall not exceed 80 percent of the area median income, as such income is most recently determined by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Such requirements may be higher than 10 percent, and may be made available to persons whose household income shall not exceed 120 percent of the area median income if, by authorization via zoning ordinance or bylaw of the city or town, there is a provision for an increase in the permissible density or intensity of the particular use.
Notwithstanding the provision of required affordable dwelling units within a residential development, a planning board rule or regulation may allow for the provision of such units off-site, the dedication of land in a manner satisfactory to the board for such a purpose, or the payment of sufficient funds to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund of the city or town, provided the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the board that the units cannot be otherwise provided on-site or that an alternative proposal does not better meet the needs of the city or town with respect to the provision of affordable housing. Off-site units, land dedication, or payment in-lieu of units must provide a benefit equivalent to the provision of on-site units, which benefit shall be determined by the planning board consistently and uniformly. Any agreement must be satisfactory to the planning board.
There shall be, within the department of housing and community development, a five member task force. The task force shall consist of the director of the department, or his or her designee, who shall be the chair of the task force, a representative from the Massachusetts Municipal Association, a representative from the Massachusetts Housing Partnership, a representative from the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Planning Association, and a member appointed by the Governor. The task force shall be responsible for adopting rules and regulations to implement this section. The department shall determine every five years thereafter whether cities and towns that accept this section are in compliance with these provisions, provided, however, that the department shall have the authority to review a municipality’s compliance at any time and issue a declaration of non-compliance.
In cities and towns that enact a zoning ordinance or bylaw under this section and are determined to be in compliance with this section by the department, the provisions of chapter 40B, sections 20 to 23, inclusive, shall not apply. In cities and towns that have not enacted a zoning ordinance or bylaw under this section or are determined to be not in compliance with this section by the department, the provisions of chapter 40B, sections 20 to 23, inclusive, shall remain in effect.

SECTION 111. Chapter 44 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2002 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting after section 53E½ the following new section:-
Section 53E¾. Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section fifty-three, a city or town that accepts the provisions of chapter 40B section 23A shall establish an Affordable Housing Trust Fund for any monies accrued under that section. These funds shall be accounted for separately from all other monies in such city or town, and to which shall be credited all funds accrued under chapter 40B section 23A and to which may be credited any other funds available to the municipality for affordable housing. Expenditures may be made from such fund by vote of a city or town’s legislative body provided, however, that expenditures shall not be made nor liabilities incurred from the fund in excess of the balance of the fund. Interest earned on any fund balance shall be treated as part of the fund. The monies from the fund shall be used only to construct affordable housing.”
