H 4383 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

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

This bill amends Plainville's town charter to restrict select board members' other roles. It prohibits select board members from simultaneously serving as town employees, holding other elected town positions, or serving on multi-member town boards appointed by the select board (except when representing the select board on those boards). The changes clarify existing rules by removing redundant language about multi-member board appointments. These provisions directly affect Plainville's select board members, limiting their eligibility for other local government roles. The amendment focuses on defining eligibility rules for select board service under the town charter.
