municipal powers and duties

H 4776 is a procedural resolution authorizing the Municipalities and Regional Government committee to study 15 specific bills (H2246, H2249, etc.) related to municipal powers and duties. The committee must investigate these bills and submit recommendations, including draft legislation, to the General Court by December 31, 2026. This resolution does not change existing laws but sets a process for future legislative action based on the committee's findings. It directly affects the committee and future lawmakers who may introduce new bills reflecting the committee's recommendations.
