HD 5303 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act amending the charter of the city of Pittsfield

This bill amends Pittsfield's city charter to increase the term limit for city council members. Specifically, it changes the number of consecutive terms allowed from "two" to "four" in two sections of the charter (section 2-1(b) and section 4-1(b)). The change directly affects Pittsfield city council members by allowing them to serve more consecutive terms. This is a procedural adjustment to the city's governing document, not a new policy.
