An Act relative to the town charter of the town of Plainville

This bill amends Plainville's town charter to change how the finance committee is appointed. It requires the select board chair, current finance committee chair, and town moderator to jointly appoint committee members, with specific details like membership size and term lengths set by the town's by-laws. The change directly affects Plainville's local governance by altering the committee's formation process. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on appointment rules without introducing new policies or financial requirements.
