An Act amending the charter of the town of Swampscott
This bill (HD 4553) proposes a technical name change for Swampscott's governing body, replacing "board of selectmen" with "select board" in the town's charter. It directly affects Swampscott's local government structure and requires approval through a town vote, as indicated by the "Local Approval Received" notation. The change is purely procedural - no new policies or responsibilities are added or altered. The bill does not impact residents' rights or town services, as it only updates the official title of an existing position.
