H 3717 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act amending the act establishing a charter for the town of Wrentham

This bill amends the town charter of Wrentham to officially change the name of the town's governing body from the "Board of Selectmen" to the "Select Board." The primary mechanism involves replacing every instance of the old term with the new one throughout the existing legal documents that establish the town's rules. This change directly affects the town's administrative structure by updating its formal title to align with the naming convention used by other Massachusetts municipalities. The legislation also grants the board the authority to make necessary clerical adjustments to ensure the name change is fully implemented.
