HD 4230 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the home rule charter of the city of Beverly

This bill proposes updates to the home rule charter of the city of Beverly to modernize its language and operational procedures. Key changes include redefining terms like "district" to group specific wards for school committee elections and requiring the city to post vacancy notices on its official website. The legislation also standardizes formatting by converting written numbers to digits and placing common titles in lowercase, while simplifying rules regarding council meetings and vacancy replacements. These adjustments aim to clarify the charter's text and improve administrative efficiency without altering the fundamental structure of city government.
