Mason - Subject to local approval, authorizes the town to appoint a town administrator; requires the town administrator to perform some of the duties previously performed by the mayor. - Amends Chapter 120 of the Private Acts of 1915; as amended and rewritten.

HB 1422 would allow the Town of Mason to appoint a town administrator (subject to local approval) who would handle administrative duties previously performed by the mayor. The bill amends the town's charter to require the administrator to manage town business, recommend service improvements, oversee personnel, maintain property records, and handle contracts and disbursements - reporting directly to the town board instead of the mayor. The mayor would retain voting rights on the board but lose executive duties like signing ordinances and managing day-to-day operations. The bill requires a two-thirds vote from Mason's legislative body to take effect. This is a procedural change to the town's internal governance structure.
