Sen. Dylan Fernandes

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies the composition of the Martha's Vineyard Commission to ensure indigenous representation on its board. It specifically requires that one of the commission's members be a representative of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah, appointed directly by the tribal government rather than by the governor. Additionally, the legislation removes a specific sentence from the existing law that outlined the appointment process for the cabinet member seat. These changes directly affect the governance structure of the commission and the appointment procedures for its members.
