An Act providing for municipal meeting postponement due to inclement weather
This bill allows municipal board chairs (such as planning or appeals boards) in towns that adopt it to postpone public hearings during weather emergencies. The chair must consult local public safety officials, announce the postponement in advance, and either set a new date within 3 days or relocate the hearing to a neighboring town if no local space is available. Notices must clearly state the new time, place, reason, and announcement details, and be posted visibly in town buildings and online. It directly affects municipal boards conducting public hearings in adopting communities during severe weather events.
