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

HD 4973 amends Plainville's town charter to change how the annual budget process begins. It requires the select board, after consulting with the town administrator, finance director, and finance committee chair, to issue a policy statement outlining the town's budget priorities and guiding principles for the next fiscal year. This replaces the previous requirement for a "written directive" to department heads. The change directly affects Plainville's local government operations by formalizing the budget planning framework and consultation process.
