Bill Summary
That the town of West Boylston be authorized to rename the board of selectmen in said town to the select board. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of West Boylston to rename its "board of selectmen" to a "select board." The bill amends various sections of the existing law that established the town's government structure to replace references to the "board of selectmen" with "select board" and "selectman" with "select board member." This change in terminology reflects a growing trend among municipalities to update the traditional "board of selectmen" name to the more gender-neutral and inclusive "select board."
