An Act authorizing local voting rights for lawful permanent residents residing in Leverett

This bill allows lawful permanent residents (green card holders) aged 18 or older who live in Leverett to register as voters and participate in all local town meetings, elections, and municipal board appointments. It directly affects eligible residents by granting them voting rights for town-level decisions, such as local budgets and community issues. Key provisions include requiring town clerk registration, permitting service on local boards, and explicitly excluding voting for state or federal offices. The town Select Board may create rules to implement the law, but the bill does not change voting rights for state or national elections.
