An Act relative to changing the two-year elected term for the Mayor of Chicopee to a four-year elected term

This bill changes Chicopee's mayoral election cycle from a two-year term to a four-year term. Starting at the next municipal election (and every four years after), voters will elect the mayor to serve a four-year term beginning January 1st following their election. The bill repeals the existing two-year term provision in Chicopee's charter and requires voter approval at the current year's state election for the change to take effect. It directly affects Chicopee residents who vote in mayoral elections and the city's governing structure.
