AI Summary

This bill extends COVID-19 accommodations for municipalities in elections and for representative town meetings in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends previous legislation to extend the provisions related to these accommodations until June 30, 2021, or the discontinuation of Executive Order No. 591, whichever is later. This provides additional flexibility for municipalities to continue implementing measures such as mail-in voting and virtual town meetings that were authorized during the state of emergency declared by the Governor due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
