HD 1528 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to establishing the Eastham community fund in the town of Eastham

This bill authorizes the town of Eastham to create a new community fund designed to provide human services, emergency financial aid, and general support for local residents and projects. The fund will be financed through town appropriations, gifts, and grants, with money allocated by the town meeting and spent without needing further legislative approval for each transaction. To manage the fund, the Board of Selectmen will appoint a committee of up to seven members to set policies and distribute grants to individuals and organizations based on approved guidelines. The act also allows the Board of Selectmen to create specific regulations necessary to carry out the fund's programs while ensuring the town's tax levy is not increased by these contributions.
