An Act amending Chapter 230 of the Acts of 1954

HD 4142 authorizes the city of Lowell to fill vacancies in specific local elected positions without requiring a special election. It amends existing election law (Chapter 230 of the Acts of 1954) to allow Lowell's city council to appoint replacements for vacancies in certain elective bodies. The bill requires approval from Lowell's city council before any appointments can be made. This change directly affects how Lowell manages temporary gaps in its local government leadership.
