Shown verbatim: the complete text as captured from the official source posted by the Massachusetts General Court, fetched 2026-07-15. Nothing is edited or removed. The official bill page.
	Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, non-emergency aircraft flight training maneuvers are prohibited within a 2 nautical mile radius of hospital helipads in the commonwealth. These areas should be avoided for simulated landings, practice approaches, turns about a point, power off turns, and related maneuvers. Overflights of such areas may not descend below 2,000 feet above ground level (AGL) and should be avoided. Private flight schools and recreational pilots are not to consider these locations appropriate areas to concentrate maneuvers due to public safety.
