An Act relative to the planning board in the town of Shutesbury

This bill allows the chair of the Shutesbury planning board to appoint an associate member to fill in when a regular member is absent, unable to act, has a conflict of interest, or leaves the board. The designated associate member would have the authority to vote on any matters the board handles, including those related to zoning and land use. This change ensures the planning board can continue functioning without interruption during such situations. The law applies only to the town of Shutesbury and becomes effective immediately upon passing.
