S 1317 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act amending the charter of the town of Marshfield

This bill amends the town charter of Marshfield, Massachusetts, to update the official name of the town's governing body from the "board of selectmen" to the "select board." It achieves this by replacing the old term "board of selectmen" with "select board" and changing the reference to individual officials from "selectmen" to "members of the select board" throughout the document. The change is a formal administrative update that reflects a modernized title for the town's leadership without altering their powers or responsibilities.
