An act relating to approval of amendments to the charter of the Town of Berlin

This bill approves amendments to the Town of Berlin's charter that were previously voted on by residents in November 2022. The changes update how town officers are elected and appointed, specifying that Selectboard members will serve staggered terms and clarifying that the Town Clerk is now an appointed rather than elected position. It also adjusts tax rules by allowing the Town Treasurer to waive personal property taxes for individuals with assessed values of $1,650 or less. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage and includes a transition provision for the current Town Clerk to finish their term or be replaced by the Selectboard.
