AI Summary
- Amends Section 3A of Chapter 185 of the General Laws to streamline the transfer of permit-related cases to the Land Court permit session
- Any party may file a notice of transfer within 30 days after service of the complaint on the last served defendant, with copies to both the original court and permit session
- Filing the notice automatically suspends all deadlines for responsive pleadings and halts proceedings in the original court until the case is either heard by Land Court or remanded
- Parties have 30 days to file a motion to remand the case back to the original court, and remand orders require good cause with articulated reasons from a Land Court judge
- Cases where a party claims a valid right to jury trial must be transferred to superior court rather than the permit session
