An Act relative to concurrent service for elected officials

This bill allows elected officials in Massachusetts town councils or select boards to also serve on county legislative boards at the same time. It removes existing legal barriers that previously prevented local officials from holding both positions simultaneously. Under the new rules, these dual-serving officials would be permitted to vote on county matters that impact their home municipalities. The legislation aims to clarify that holding both local and county offices is legal, regardless of previous opinions from state agencies or commissions.
