An Act relative to concurrent service for elected officials

Maddy summaryThis bill allows elected members of a town Select Board or Town Council in Massachusetts to also serve on a county legislative board at the same time. The law explicitly permits these officials to vote on county matters that impact their local municipalities, removing previous restrictions that might have barred such dual roles. By overriding conflicting state laws or agency opinions, the measure clarifies that holding both positions simultaneously is legal. This change directly affects local and county officials who wish to participate in governance at both levels without stepping down from one role.
