An Act establishing an appointed treasurer for the city of Holyoke

This bill proposes to change how the City of Holyoke selects its treasurer by replacing the current elected position with an appointed one. The legislation would amend the city charter to allow the city council to elect a treasurer for a three-year term starting in 2026, while the current treasurer continues until that date. The act requires that the qualifications for the new treasurer be set by a separate city ordinance and mandates a vote by Holyoke voters in November 2024 to approve the change. If voters approve the measure, the new appointment system will take effect immediately following the election.
