An Act amending the charter of the town of Sandwich

This bill changes Sandwich's town charter by replacing the elected town clerk position with an appointed role. The current elected clerk becomes the first appointed clerk for the remainder of their term, after which future appointments will follow the standard process for department heads. The bill abolishes the elected position entirely upon its effective date, requiring all subsequent town clerks to be appointed rather than elected. This affects Sandwich's local governance structure specifically for the town clerk role.
