Bill Summary

For legislation to allow simple majority voting. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to allow simple majority voting in municipalities and regional government. Specifically, it amends the existing law to replace the current voting requirements, which vary depending on the size of the board (e.g., two-thirds vote for boards with more than five members, unanimous vote for three-member boards), with a concurring vote of a majority of the members then in office. This change would standardize the voting process and enable decisions to be made with a simple majority rather than a supermajority in certain cases.
