S 2351 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to appropriate notice for changes to Veterans’ district agreements

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require a minimum 180-day notice period when a city or town votes to withdraw from a shared veterans' services district. The change directly affects municipalities that currently operate these joint districts, ensuring they have ample time to prepare for the transition if a member chooses to leave. By extending the existing timeline for withdrawal, the legislation aims to provide greater stability and planning opportunities for the remaining towns in the district.
