An Act to amend the Saugus Town Charter
This bill amends the Saugus Town Charter to establish a cooling-off period for former town officials. It specifically prohibits anyone who previously served on the Board of Selectmen or School Committee from accepting a paid job directly appointed by those same boards for eighteen months after their term ends. The rule is designed to prevent immediate conflicts of interest by ensuring a separation between public service and future employment within the town government.
